Make a Scale Model of the Solar System
This activity from NASA explains how to use beads and string to make a model that shows the relative distances between the sun and planets in our solar system. For the full directions go to: jpl.nasa.gov/edu/resources/lesson-plan/solar -system-bead-activity
Start your scale model by cutting a 5.0 meter piece of string and tying the largest “sun” bead to one end using a double knot.
Using the distances in centimeters, measure the distance from the sun on the string to each planet.
Tie a colored bead in place for each planet using a double knot. Note: The bead colors are rough approximations of the colors of the planets and the sun. However, you can use whatever color of beads you have handy.
