Build A Solar System

We built a solar system this week using the Magic School Bus Solar System science kit.  I love these kits, there is enough supplies and experiments for 10 to 12 activities. They cost around $19.99 per kit but you can find some good deals with coupon codes from Scholastic.

 

The photos are self explanatory.  It was an easy project and help to reinforce the order of the planets.
