Seventh Grade Builds Scaled Solar Systems
October 6, 2025
Seventh graders in Middle School science teacher Kristin Suer’s class brought the solar system into the Middle School while making scale model replicas.
Using a data table they previously filled out, students measured the scaled distance between planets and the sun, using different objects as stand-ins for the heavenly bodies.
Afterwards, students compared the progression of sizes and the distance between the planets of their scale model and the real solar system.
