Solar System Model 

We are making a solar system model, with paper mache planets/ping pong balls

(Diagram)^

• Cardboard box 

• Paper 

• Paint (Black, White, Orange, Yellow, Red, Blue) 

• String 

• Maybe Tape.. 

• Paper mache 

Plan: 

1. Paint the cardboard box black, and cover up all the holes. Flicker white paint over the back of the cardboard box to create the star effect. 

2. Start making the planets with paper mache, paint the planets to the colour shown above (In the diagram). 

3. Use the string and attach it to the planets, cut some holes in the top of the box, thread the string through it and hold the planets in place. 

4. Finish the touch ups1 

Outcome: 

Conclusion: 

In the end, we ended up changing all the planets to ping pong balls as it was easier to fit them all into the black box which was the base of our solar system. Something I would do better next time is adding some more detail to setting, or maybe hang up the ufo's.
