a) Draw and cut construction paper models of the Sun and the planets using the scaled
measurements from the table.
b) Glue the models on the poster board. You can glue or tape poster boards together if necessary.
Be sure to put the Sun in the center and to put the planets and a drawing of their orbits in order
from nearest to farthest from the Sun.
Note: Remember that in this model, the diameter of the planets is scaled but the distance of the
planets from the Sun is not. That means your model does not accurately represent the distances
of the planets from the Sun so you need not worry about these measurements.
c) Label the Sun and the planets.
d) Put an attention-catching title above or below your model.
e) Write your name on the back of your poster board.
