ideas how to build a solar system?

We Answered:

Balloons of different sizes. Cover balloons with paper mache strips to make solid globes. See website for "Earth as a peppercorn" search on Google. Flags on a very long sidewalk showing where planets are in solar system (see the front walk of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles). Big and small circles on paper showing planet sizes. Pencil or crayon colored pictures of planets.

We Answered:

get some dead stars which have released elements, a lot of space debris, let gravity take its course.....you mean a model?
just stick some foam balls onto toothpicks and color them

go down to your local hobby lobby or michaels crafts tore and buy styrofoam balls in the appropriate size for each of the planets and the sun, then buy some then dowel rods (wood) get some styrofoam safe paints and paint each ball the correct color (use a picture off the net) then paint the dowel rods black and stick each on thru both the sun and its resppective planet, making sure to be correct in the distance numbering of each planet
mercury, venus, earth, mars (asteroid belt) jupiter (smal vertical rings) saturn (large slightly tilted horizontal rings), Uranus, Neptune and then pluto.
