Scale Down the Planets
Apply math concepts to scale down the planets 100 million times smaller than their real sizes. Students follow 4 simple steps to scale down planet diameter and radius. Students use tools like a bullseye compass or a regular metric ruler to create the 2D models on paper. Math concepts include metric unit conversion (km to cm), parts of a circle (radius and diameter), scale modeling, measurement, and rounding. This activity works great for math or science. A one-page printable template for the inn

Astronomers Math, Reading, Writing, Science PBL/ Distance Learning
This low-prep, cross-curricular project invites students to step into the shoes of an astronomer! They will research a constellation (reading), draw constellations (math), create a legend for their own constellation (writing), and explore types of waves (science). This project allows students to be creative and apply skills in a real-world context. Included are both paper and digital formats (great for distance learning), as well as teacher models, suggestions for differentiation, and extension

4th grade lesson: order of the panets in our solar sysytem
Teacher walks to the chalkboard and writes the sentence “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles” then turns to the class and says “who can guess how this relates to our solar system”? Teacher allows students to raise their hands and answer. After one minute if no student gets on track the teacher will pick one of the first letters and write the planet name going vertical from it (i.e. V = Venus) and then allow students to continue their guesses. Once the class has gotten as many names a
