Objective - Use models and graphs that accurately depict scale to compare the size and distance between objects in the Solar System. Scale Model Planets Materials o o o o o o o o o o o Construction paper (black, white, blue, red) White butcher paper (6 feet long) Yellow butcher paper (5 feet long) Blue butcher paper (3 feet long) Green butcher paper (3 feet long) Meter stick 15 yards of string Four index cards Compass Pencil Tape Procedure 1. Make paper scale models of the four smallest planets by drawing a circle according to the radius sizes and colors of paper indicated on the chart. Planet Paper Color Circle Radius Mercury Venus Earth Mars Black White Blue Red ½” 1.4” 1.5” ¾” Objective - Use models and graphs that accurately depict scale to compare the size and distance between objects in the Solar System. 2. Cut strings a little longer than twice the radius in the table. Tie the two ends together. Using the loop, draw a circle the radius of the planet on the butcher paper.

When completed, it will look something like the diagram below. Key 1 – Earth 2 – Venus 3 – Mars 4 - Mercury
