Solar System Project POMS

What is the objective of the project?

• Use your model interactively to develop explanations about how objects and forces in our solar system interact.

• Physically demonstrate how your objects orbit other objects in the Solar System.

• Physically demonstrate how your objects revolve around their own axis and tilt.

• Brainstorm how you can assemble your model in a way that allows you to interact with it. SS

When you have your materials, what is the next important step?

• In the last lesson of this unit, you will upload your project.

• Create a presentation that uses your model to explain the Solar System.

• Ensure that the materials you have chosen represent the relative sizes of each object.

• Label each object in your model (Sun, Moon, planets, etc.)

What is missing from the model requirements:

An example of modern space exploration or another celestial body (choose one), Sun, , Planets, orbits, and axis's.
