Space Walk

Just how big is our Solar System?   The students in our classroom had the opportunity to "scale down" the System and take a walk outside visualizing the distance between the sun and all of the planets.  For modeling purposes, we followed the rule that one yard= 3,600,000 miles in the Solar System.  On our space journey (or "pace" journey), we estimated each yard to be one large pace.   Enjoy the pictures from our Solar Walk!
