This afternoon we investigated the scale of our Solar System.

Firstly we watched this video which helped to show us the huge relative size of the planets within our Solar System. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaOPsmlJyw8

We then got into our Home Teams and using rulers, compasses and our tables with relative scales, each Home Team created a rocky planet and a gas planet.

Next, we arranged all our planets in the correct order and used another scale to show how far away each planet is from the sun.
