Our Solar System!

Dr. Dower came today to talk about our amazing solar system and the planets we love.


This is the link he wanted to show us... http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/solar_system/



The way that we remember the planets is by saying:


My
Very
Excellent
Mother
Just
Served
Us
Nachos


This helps us remember that in order (from the sun out) it goes... Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune


Shout out to my brother for giving me this awesome Solar System necklace.




Doctor Dower SHOCKED my students by telling them that we are actually made from star dust.
Blew their minds!

The sun is the size of Ms. Dower and in the center of the school.
Mercury is at the end of the school.
Venus is on the other side of the playground.
Earth is on the grassy field.
Mars is halfway to the park.
Jupiter is half a mile from the school.
Saturn is a mile away.
Uranus is two miles away.
Neptune is just over three miles away.
