My Project
Visualizing how the Earth, Sun and Moon move around each other in wildly varied orbits is very difficult for most adults, let alone kids. While not scale or orbital path accurate (which will be pointed out to them quite a bit), this model will demonstrate a lot.
It shows how the Earth isn't flat based on shadows.
(Teaching things like Flat Earth is important - kids grow up to be better critical thinkers.) It shows how daylight, night and phases of the moon work. That makes it a lot easier to teach high and low tides, which are important to Florida, the state we live in.
More than half of students from low‑income households
