Taking a Little Hike with Astronomy


We are enjoying our study of astronomy
this year.
We found this activity here,
An Interplanetary Hike.

Basically, you are pacing out a walking scale model
of the solar system.
Each step roughly represents 30,000,000 miles.


Pluto is at the end of the driveway.
Wow.

We're doing astronomy this year (we just started) and I'd love to do this activity! It looks great. However the link you provided didn't work. Can you send it to me? kyserdawgs@yahoo.com

Thanks so much,
Jill

We're doing astronomy this year too. This activity would certainly put it in perspective - thanks for sharing...mind if I copy?
