THE BIG (Astronomical)
The Small (Microscopic)
A bigger than life (not really) model of our solar system.
The plan: Make a scale model with sidewalk chalk of our solar system in the teacher parking lot.
What we need: ALL CALCULATIONS (AT EACH TABLE) MUST BE DONE ON GOOGLE SHEETS AND TURNED IN.

- Distances from the sun to all of the planets in our solar system in miles.
- Distances from the planets to their large moons in miles.
- The diameter of our sun and planets in miles.
- A scale factor that will allow us to fit our solar system in the teacher parking lot (not too big and not too little).
- Sidewalk chalk (I have plenty.)
- A long measuring tape ( have a 300 foot one).
- Organization, leaders, and team work.
- Patience.
