My Project

With the motorized solar system, I plan to help facilitate the teaching of astronomy and the solar system. Space science is a topic about which all of my students are intrigued. These models will help my students understand the arrangement of the primary planets. I want to give them models to help them fully understand how each earth revolves around the sun.) My students are my angels, and I love to see their eyes light up when we learn about everything that deals with Astronomy.
