Our Solar System 
Students will create a 3D model of the solar system. The sun and planets should be in the correct order, clearly labeled, and be relatively proportioned to each other (ex: Mars should not be bigger than Jupiter). Students are encouraged to use color and to get creative while learning. Each student present their project to the class, so they should come prepared to discuss how their 3-D solar system model was created and be able to share facts about the planets in our solar system.
