Styrofoam Solar System

Please help me give my students styrofoam balls, bamboo sticks, and craft supplies to design their own solar system models.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Singh's classroom raised $282

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are keen learners and tinkerers. They are creative and imaginative and love arts and crafts.

My students will design a solar system using Styrofoamballs and arts and crafts supplies.

They will choose the number and size of planets and their colorful features and properties.

Students will collaborate in pairs to plan, research, and model the discovery of a future solar system.

The students need the Styrofoam balls to set up their solar system model and the arts and crafts supplies to hold the system together.
