Science Integrated Art Lesson Plan

Hi. Here is my science art lesson idea. I don't have a picture because I lost my Sun and Earth. I actually taught this lesson in my class. I read the book Stars. In the book there was an analogy of the sun's size to the size of the Earth. The analogy included a soccer ball as the sun and a grain of sand as the Earth. I had my students to create a Sun and Earth out of clay in the size they thought they were to each other. Then in the book when I got to the part about the soccer ball and sand, I pulled out a soccer ball and some sand and showed them. They then had to recreate their Earth and Sun. The students loved it and I think they got an idea of how large the Sun is.
