Week 3 Day 3 - Where on Earth?

Today we made a model of our solar system.  We took the easy route and bought a kit, but you can make it out of almost anything. Here are two more ways you can make your own solar system:

* Use paper and crayons or markers to draw the planets and the sun. Then cut them out, hole punch them and connect them all to a hanger with yarn or string.

* Use Styrofoam balls and paint them. Then stick them with wire and connect them to the sun at varying distances.

We are still working on our modeling clay aliens. My kids were a bit tired of painting after making the solar system earlier, so we'll paint them tomorrow.

Don't space out and hopefully we'll see you tomorrow.
