Help me give my students solar system kits to finish out our unit on astronomy.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Hello! This small project is to order a set of 10 solar system kits so that the students in our science classes can work together to assemble a model of the solar system and experience a hands on activity to reinforce the concepts that they have been learning about the relative size of the planets, their distance from each other, and the way that planetary orbits work. Hands on activities like this are important for the students to be able to get off of their screens and experience concepts in a real world manner.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
