Planetary Alignment
Posted by Unknown | | Posted On Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at 7:27 PM
We have been studying our solar system.
The boys put together their solar systems this evening.
I had this grand plan to get all these styrofoam balls, rods, paint........but I did not have to.
Do you know why?
Well, because at JoAnn's they have these nice little Solar System models pre-colored all you have to do is put it all together in the correct order and cut the rods proportionately. (I figured this out after I had already had all supplies in my basket.....but it was totally worth finding this wonderful solar system pre-packaged deal because I had their store coupons, 50% off one and 40% off the other coming to a very nice cost. Not expensive and it would have been more expensive getting all other items individually.
I was a happy mommy and I had some happy boys excited to put together their projects.
We labeled all the planets and the sun (not pictured above).
I am hoping to take the boys up to the planetarium to see the movie The Planets next Wednesday afternoon.
So what is your favorite planet?
The boys like Saturn.
I like the Earth.
You?
