The file 'Laser Cut Scale Model Of Solar Sytem' is (dxf,pdf) file type, size is 946.65 KB.
This STEM learning tool helps students explore the size of the solar system. It contains two different learning tools to help students explore space and our place in it. It can be used to help students deepen their learning and demonstrate their learning.
Solar System Model Learning Tool
These design plans contain a scale model of the solar system at 1:130,000,000. The result is the earth is 9.8 cm (3.8in)
Moon Phase Learning Tool
Models of the moon are laser cut to show the different phases. Students can use the model to explore why different phases occur.
Questions
A series of questions will help guide student inquiry and help them demonstrate their learning. Some of the questions are...
-Calculate and place the planets at the correct distance from the sun
-Give your best explanation for what causes the phases of the moon
-Create an engineering drawing which shows and describes how the phases of the moon are formed"
NGSS Standars
This lesson aligns to NGSS middle school science standards. Some of the engineering standards can be met if students collect and analyze data
Please feel free to modify these plans as needed or give feedback on how to improve.
