During our project we have experimented with gravity!
Then after our experiment we had to tell the rest of the class what we found.
We made aliens!
The aliends had to be able to survivie on Mars.
The aliends needed to be able to get water and food from Mars.
We had to explain to the rest of the class why how the alien would survive the extreme tempretures on Mars.
We used all sorts of strange things to illustrate the sizes of the planets.
We decided to make a display of the planets which would show their relative size.
It took ever such a long time to make the Solar system out of papier mache.
The planets grew each day.
Eventually our classroom has a complete set of planets. We couldn't manage the sun which would had to have been 8 metres wide!
We used more gym equipment to demonstrate why the Moon looks different each night.
We used torches to show how the sun shines on the Moon.
We had some volunteers to pose as astronauts for our Race to Space display.
