- Model the Solar System. Students learn early on the names of the planets (and maybe even a fun mnemonic device to help remember their order). But understanding the sizes of the planets and their distances from one another really helps bring understanding of our solar system into shape.
- A Fold-up Model Solar System. With the Pocket Solar System lesson, students use a single strip of paper to make a simple model of the solar system to visualize how much space exists between the planets.
- The Earth's Rotation. With the Kinesthetic Astronomy: Earth's Rotation lesson, students use kinesthetic techniques to better understand how the Earth moves, what the Earth's rotation means, and how the Earth's rotation on its axis differs from the Earth's orbit.
- Earth's Tilt and Seasons. With the Kinesthetic Astronomy: Longer Days, Shorter Nights lesson, students use a kinesthetic activity to better understand how the tilt of the Earth relates to changing patterns of light and the change in seasons.
Why do the planets orbit the sun without flying off into space? Do they move in perfect circles or do their orbits take a different shape? And how could you possibly do a science project about any of this—you can't do an experiment with the planets!
