Daughter's Solar System Project!


My daughter had a solar system project to do. She knew her dad would get heavily involved, and here is the result! We're both pretty happy with it! I took the opportunity to teach her how to paint things and basically put a project like this together, in stages. She was very interested and it came out nicely. If she doesn't get an "A" then there will be grief! ;-)

  6. Hey Phil! This makes me want to build my own Solar System. No doubt in my mind that she'll get an A. Heck, I'd give it an A++ with merit!

    How about an extrasolar system?

    Looks great!
    If the teacher's a Pluto lover, your A++ might be in jeopardy though :D

  8. Dimitri - I very nearly added Pluto just as a matter of principle ;-) (I am old school). Would have been cool to have added the Oort Cloud, Asteroid belt and Kuiper Belt as well as a few comets, but I ran out of time.
