In science, we recently explored the relative distances between (and sizes of) the planets in our solar system.

First – by shrinking the solar system (the distance from the Sun to Neptune) to the size of the playground/field – we looked at the distance between each planet.

We then reduced Mercury’ size to 30cm  and, by drawing them on the playground, we looked at how big all the other planets (and our sun) would be.
