Instructions for leading your class through the experience of setting up a large solar system model will help your students focus on the massive distances involved in our solar system. The resources will guide you on how to set up the planet sizes and provide you with step-by-step directions on how to set up the outside solar system and how to keep your students engaged throughout this excellent activity.
