Solar System

This resource provides an activity in which children create a scale representation of the distance of the Planets away from the Sun. Using the scale of one sheet of toilet paper = 50,000,000 km children calculate the number of sheets of toilet paper required for the correct spacing of the Planets from the Sun. This...

The Three Billy Goats Gruff
