The Solar System

Psalm 8:3

When I consider thy heavens,

the work of thy fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which thou hast ordained;

This is the solar system that we have been working on for a while now. The small planets we make out of clay that we had to bake, and the others are plastic balls. All the planets were painted by the kids, I glued them to their strings and we tied them up together. The picture only shows up to Saturn because it too much to get in as it stretches across the whole room. Mercury is so small it is too hard to see in this picture, but it really is there.

Also, there is a VERY neat website to watch what the planets' obit is like. http://janus.astro.umd.edu/javadir/orbits/ssv.html
