Our Inquiry Table that the girls can explore!
I wonder...how far are we from the sun??
Here were some of the girls' predictions that they recorded in their Wonder Journals:
3,000 miles
1,000 miles
100 miles
10,000 miles
Well...actually we are much, much farther. Earth is about 90,000,000 miles away from the Sun!! WOW! To represent this, we created a solar system out of cereal. 1 cheerio= 30,000,000 miles, honeycomb=the sun, fruit loops=the planets.
After building our solar systems, we drew the model in our notebooks and recorded the distances. We are just a small part of our BIG solar system!
