We walked 5 915 000 000 kilometres!

I can’t believe Ms Matthews made us walk that far! It was cruel!

All the way from the Sun to Pluto!

Actually we didn't!

We scaled the distance down by from 1 000 000 000 km to just 1m. That means we walked about 60 metres.

First we placed the planets along the string line to where we thought they went in relation to the sun.

Then everyone discussed this and did some figures using the actual distance from the sun.

We were able to see the planets positions clearly and realised that compared to Pluto, Mercury was very close.
Keep watching to find out how long it takes us to ride our bikes, from the planet we are investigating to the sun.
Being scientists is fun! We discovered that scientists need to have lots of skills. When we have been doing our investigations we have to have the skills of reading, writing, mathematics and problem solving!
