This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

“Exploring the Solar System: Pocket Solar System” is a hands-on activity in which visitors make a scale model of the distances between objects in our solar system.

In this activity, learners plan and create a 24-foot long, two-dimensional model of our solar system, and compare and contrast the differences between planets and the sun.

In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the
