Scale Model of Solar System

The Eilfort boys created a scale model of our Solar System starting with the Earth at one foot from the sun. We tried to keep size and color accuracy.
This was a homeschool project that included math skills- measuring, percentages, proportion, addition. Planet facts, and cooperation skills.
Mercury 5 inches, Venus 9 inches, Earth one foot, Mars 18 inches, Jupiter 5 feet two inches, Saturn 9 feet, Uranus 19 feet 7 inches, Neptune 30 feet and Pluto 39 feet.

The measurements are taken from The Magic School Bus solar system book, we didn't make them up.

This was a 3rd grade project, go easy on us. (We know the sun is not that size.)

Don't watch it if you don't like it.
