Who knew you could use toilet paper to measure planetary distances?? We did just that in science today. Students played the part of planets as we counted out toilet paper sheets. Mercury hangs out real close to the sun (just 3 toilet paper squares away), but Uranus was a lot of toilet paper later (approximately 230 squares away). Now it's not hard to tell why planets have warm and colder climates, and why our years are so different in length.
The planets chatting before they get in position.
