Solar System to Scale Activity

On Sept 27th (A day) and Sept 28th (B day) we did an activity to show our solar system to scale.  In this activity we fit our entire solar system on a football field with the sun on one goal line and Neptune 100 yards away on the other goal line.

In this activity, students had to calculate, using simple proportions, where on the football field the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus would be.  Students can find the distance of each planet from the sun  below.

After students make their calculations about where on the football field each of the planets should be, they need to enter their calculations using the form below.
