Our Awesome Solar System!




Caleb, Tobin, Evan, Subin, Ethan, and Micah

We have a science co-op with 2 other familes and we are studying Jeannie Fulbright's Exploring Creation with Astronomy. We made our solar system out of proportionally sized ballooons except for the sun which we just used the biggest ball we had. We were really amazed at how small some of the planets are compared to others. You can't even see Pluto! (yes, we know that the science community has dubbed Pluto simply a subplant) It truly was an excellent visual!


As an aside, yes, I will try to blog more often. It's actually been almost 6 months since I've entered anything. I plan to go back and update all the fun we've had the last 6 months. But in the meantime, we've started school and for the most part are having a blast!
