Having fun with catapults!
Kids, if you want your faces on the blog, I need permission from your parents.
Scaled Model of Solar System Distances
With beads, a measuring tape, and a piece of string, we made a scaled model of our solar system.
Scaled Models
1 out of 50 globs of play dough make the moon.
49 out of 50 globs of play dough make the earth.
Earth is 30 times its diameter away from the moon.
Play Dough Recipe
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of salt
2 Tablespoons of cream of tarter
1 cup of water
1 Tablespoon of oil
food coloring
Heat on stove top until play dough pulls together. Knead before using.
