We have been learning about the solar system in science class.
Today we made a model that compared the sizes of the planets to one another.
Each group used 3 pounds of playdough and followed step by step instructions to complete the project.
The recipe for the playdough and the directions are linked below.

OSIRIS-REx
Messages to Bennu!
Travel to Bennu on the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft!
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission and The Planetary Society invite you to submit your name for a round-trip ride to asteroid Bennu. Your name will hitch a ride to the asteroid, spend 500 days there, and return in the Sample Return Capsule to Earth in 2023.
Plus your name will be on the spacecraft, which will remain in space long after returning the sample return capsule to Earth. You can find more information on the project and sign up at:
