Each group created a model of the solar system. First they determined the ratio of the scale model to the actual distance of Pluto by dividing the available distance by the know sun-to-Pluto distance. Using this scale, they determined the distances for the remaining planets in the solar system. Each student then researched facts about their assigned planet. We then headed out to the school grounds to map out our model. Notice that they even added the Asteroid Belt that is located between Mars and Jupiter.
pluto was so far.
