An Introduction to the Scale of the Solar System: Lesson 2 of 2
This lesson serves to provide an extension to lesson one. In this lesson, students will have the opportunity to build their own model of the solar system to scale, utilizing math concepts of exponents and ratios and proportions to help them build their models.
While students could try to create a model of the solar system to scale using distance AND size, it will be difficult for them to do this, as both videos show. It is recommended students choose to represent either the distance or size of the planets to scale.

In this lesson, students will be introduced to the concept of solar angle and how Earth’s tilt on its axis and revolution around the sun are responsible for seasonal changes in temperature, daylight
Students will have fun building and testing with KidSpark observing and calculating forces such as load and effort.
