Now your students can hold the solar system in their hands and get a real sense of how far away the planets are and how big they are in relation to one another. Using multiple combinations of these spheres, students can simulate the relationship of the planets to the sun, the moon to the planets, and planets to planets. One to four students can work simultaneously using different combinations of spheres with one lab.

The kit includes:

• 10 marbles and balloons (small and large)
• Beads
• Styrofoam balls
• 3 plastic spheres
• Map pins
• 1 earth globe
• Physical data about the planets and moons
• 1 set of instructions & activities
