From Ranae Roemer at Davidson:. " I like this activity because it covers NGSS and CCSS ELA standards. The kids have to problem solve how to cut “equal” pieces and are usually very surprised at the planet sizes once the activity is completed. We include Pluto in this activity so they can see how tiny it is compared to the other planets. I do this activity after the students have learned about the formation of the solar system and the characteristics of the inner and outer planets."
