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!
Awesome job 3rd Graders!!!
