Solar System to Scale Lab
The objective of this lab is to make a scale model of our solar system, so as to better understand just how large the distances in our solar system are.
Materials Required
- Scientific Calculator
- Meter Stick(s)
- Objects/signs to represent each object in the Solar System
This lab is used in 8th grade physical science and 9th grade earth science. After students calculate the scale distances between each object in the Solar System, you then have the class make the scale solar system

Sunspot Graphing Lab
The objective of this lab is to apply knowledge of graphing relationships to graph and determine the relationship between sunspots and time. Students will be asked to label and number the x- and y- axes on their graph, plot data in a line graph format, interpret the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, and extrapolate the data shown on the graph to make predictions about future sunspot activity. This lab is used in a 9th grade earth science class and meets the New York

Types:
Density Lab
The objective of this lab is to calculate the density of 5 objects by measuring their masses and volumes and then applying the density formula.
Materials Required (for each lab set-up)
- Triple (or quadruple) beam balance
- Graduated Cylinder
- Ruler
- 5 materials to measure (the lab is written to use the following
materials: a sponge, a glass marble, a steel marble, an
aluminum bar, and a mineral. However, you can modify the lab
to use whatever materials you have
