So, how big is the solar system?!

Solar System made out of Cereal
Every cheerio was 30,000,000 miles away. We put a fruit loop for Neptune and it was 33 cheerios on it [it was 900,000,000 miles.] Then we put a fruit loop on for Uranus and it was 30 cheerios [90,000,000 miles.] Then a fruit loop for Saturn and it was 14 cheerios [420,000,000.] Then a fruit loop for Jupiter and 12 cheerios [360,000,000.] Then a fruit loop for Mars and it was 1 cheerio [30,000,000.] Then a fruit loop for Earth and it was 1 cheerio [30,000,000.] Then a fruit loop for Venus and it was 1 cheerio [30,000,000.] Then a fruit loop for Mercury and it was 1 cheerio [30,000,000.] The last thing we did was a honeycomb for the sun.

We also measured out the solar system to scale with toilet paper!









Finally, we made a model of the sun, moon, and Earth out of Playdough!!
