I want to introduce you layout« Planets of the solar system» with your own hands.

So, for outer space, we need:

Frame 30*50

Cardboard 30*50

We paint over the cardboard in black (if there is a large format black cardboard, then you can use it, let it dry. Then we apply orbits with white gouache, draw stars with colored glitter or paints, you can draw constellations, meteorites, etc.

For creating planets we need:

Styrofoam balls 10 pcs. different sizes;

Cardboard for the rings of Saturn.

PVA glue for fastening planets to cardboard;

We paint the balls with gouache, after coloring we give it ready planets dry up.

Our planets and outer space dried up. Can be glued sun and planets.

Arrangement order planets from the sun next: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, you can add Earth's satellite Moon.

Model making solar system is a great way to explore space.

For children to remember the sequence solar system planets, you can use the poem by A. Hite

" 8 planets"

Everything in order planets

Call any of us:

Once - Mercury,

Two - Venus,

Three - Earth,

Four is Mars.

Five - Jupiter,

Six - Saturn,

Seven - Uranus,

Behind him is Neptune.

We continue to replenish our "Nature Center" with visual aids. To make the "Sea" layout, we need: - A sheet of thick cardboard.

A SPACE ROOM was created in our kindergarten. Each group presented material on a space theme. The guys and I decided.

To make a layout, we need: 1. A sheet of cardboard or fiberboard. 2. Styrofoam. 3. Newspaper. 4. Napkins. 5. Colored sand. 6. Gouache or watercolor.

We take a medium-sized hoop and wrap it with insulating tape. We cover it with a cloth of the appropriate color. We make paper balls.

"Solar system" with your own hands! July 29th, 2015

Every time the holidays come, after I am glad that I no longer have to get up early and collect the children for school, and then rush there, trying not to be late for the start of classes, I think, what would I do to keep them busy so that there are no excruciatingly boring. Of course, the easiest and cheapest way is to stick a tablet in your hands, and there they will find cartoons, games, and other entertainment. But you don’t want it like that, you want the entertainment to be of an educational and developing nature. And here one cannot do without fiction and direct parental participation.

In April of this year, when we were on vacation in Moscow, the company Space Giraffe offered to test a children's creative kit "Solar system". I happily jumped at this opportunity, since Anya, following her father Dima, has long been showing a genuine interest in the topic of space and everything connected with it. Her passion is so strong that she has already managed to infect Leva with it, who quickly learned the names of all the planets with her help.

On the indicated day, we received a set in a box of impressive size. The kids clapped their hands happily and jumped around as I unpacked it. And they were very surprised that there was nothing special inside. A set of paints, cardboard-base and hemispheres-blanks, which were destined to become models of the planets. Everything else is the work of the creator, in whose possession such a box falls, and the final result depends only on him.

First, it was necessary to prepare the base-cardboard (60 x 40 cm), painting over its entire surface with black. Anya readily took up this task and, in the process of completing it, drew a little, and then joyfully painted over her pictures. She didn’t have enough strength to complete what she started (they ended in the first 10-15 minutes) and I already finished painting the base (of course, the most boring thing always goes to my mother). However, I even liked it))) It’s quite nice to paint cardboard with black paint, this activity had a relaxing effect on me (what does a mother of many children need at the end of a working day?).

Everyone wanted to paint the planets, even little Misha. We carefully switched Misha to other activities, and began to divide the planets between Anya and Leo. The greatest excitement was caused by the Sun and the Earth, the least - by Mercury and Mars (because they are very small). There was almost a fight, in general, they painted the Sun alternately))))

While the planet models were drying, Anya busied herself with drawing the orbits for the planets on the black base with white chalk, and I read to them about the planets we were preparing to place on the base in order to create a model of the solar system as soon as they were ready.

For example, that time on different planets flows differently. One day on Mercury is 58 Earth days! And the mass of the Sun is 99% of the mass of the entire solar system. And also the fact that on the Moon a person weighs 6 times less than on Earth, due to the lower force of gravity, and that Saturn is not the only planet with rings of stones, ice and other particles. Similar rings exist around Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, but only around Saturn can we see them from Earth.

Given the latter fact, we decided not to make “rings” to any of the planets (for some reason, we unanimously decided that our model of the solar system in this form would look much more harmonious).

Here's what we ended up with:

The model of the solar system looks quite impressive. Bright, informative, visual! And, most importantly, handmade)

When D. returned home, Anya and Lev proudly showed him the fruit of their labor. I didn’t have time to capture Dima’s dad’s smile, but believe me, he was happy!)))

“Humanity will not remain forever on earth, but,

in pursuit of light and space,

first timidly penetrates beyond the atmosphere,

and then conquer all circumsolar space"

K. Tsiolkovsky

Since ancient times, the eyes of people have been directed to the sky. Starting from the first steps on earth, a person felt his dependence on the sky, his life and activity largely depended on it. Our ancestors knew and understood "habits" sky. For them, the sky was alive, filled, manifesting itself in many ways. This love and knowledge of the sky must be brought up in older preschoolers.

Target: create model of the solar system and show by example that The solar system is a system of planets, in the center of which is a bright star, a source of energy, heat and light - Sun. Around which nine large planets revolve in orbits.

Material: stationery glue, scissors, sewing threads of different colors, balloons, foil, hoop, waste material (boxes paper, plastic).

1. Prepare the necessary material. Inflate balloons of different sizes according to the required size solar system(planets, Sun) .

2. Thread the needle and thread it through the glue.

3. Wrap each ball with thread and let the glue dry.

4. After the glue dries, remove the balloon from the threads, after untying it or bursting it.

5. For the planet Saturn, cut out a ring from foil or paper and glue it in the future planet.

6. Wind the threads around the hoop.

7. Cut out stars and comets from foil.

8. Make a ship out of waste material.

9. Hang all planets, stars and comets in accordance with the location of the planets solar system. Names to sign.

10. The model of the solar system is ready.

"Planets of the solar system" for the design of the group for the thematic week "Cosmos". Master Class. As in many other gardens, we passed.

Hello dear colleagues! I want to show you my layout "Planets of the solar system". After all, soon April 12 is the day of Cosmonautics, and the topic.

On the eve of Cosmonautics Day, I made an informative visual aid to replenish the materials of the developing environment in kindergarten.

I want to bring to your attention the model of the "Planet of the Solar System" with my own hands. Space is very big. In addition to our Earth, there are others.

In order, all the planets will be named by any of us. One is Mercury, two is Venus, three is Earth, four is Mars. Five is Jupiter, six is ​​Saturn, seven.

I want to introduce you to the layout of the "Planet of the Solar System" with my own hands. So, for outer space we need: Frame 30 * 50.

On the eve of the anniversary of Cosmonautics Day, I bring to your attention a master class on making a model of the Planet of the Solar System. Do it together.

Relevance of the research topic

We are inhabitants of the planet Earth. Planet Earth is heated and illuminated by the Sun. In addition to the planet Earth, there are other planets that are part of the solar system. All of them are a single living organism, which has its own laws and many mysteries. At the lesson of the surrounding world, when studying the topic “Planets”, in order to better remember the names, the planetary teacher offered us the game “Parade of Planets”. Each participant was asked to take a model of their planet and take their place. This helped me remember the names of the planets better. But some guys continued to get confused in the names and locations of the planets. And then I thought that if the teacher had a model of the solar system on the table, then the guys would have better learned both the names of the planets and their location in outer space as they move away from the Sun. I had an idea to try to make a model of the solar system, especially since we already had models of the planets themselves, so that other guys could easily remember the educational material. Thus, the research problem was defined.

Chapter 1.

1.1. The structure of the solar system.

Since the beginning of time, people have been interested in the origin of the Earth, Sun, stars and planets. For centuries, people have deified the Sun, the Moon, and the planets. However, they began to study the sky only about 5000 years ago. It used to be thought that the Earth is the motionless center of the Universe, around which the planets move.The general structure of the solar system was revealed in the middle of the 16th century. N. Copernicus, who substantiated the idea of ​​the motion of the planets around the Sun. This model of the solar system is called heliocentric. In the 17th century. I. Kepler discovered the laws of planetary motion, and I. Newton formulated the law of gravity. The study of the physical characteristics of cosmic bodies that make up the solar system became possible only after the invention by G. Galileo in 1609 telescope . So, observing sunspots, Galileo first discoveredrotation of the sun around its axis.

In the twentieth century when a man flew into space, a breakthrough was made in learning solar system. This is how it is today.The solar system includes the central star - the Sun, eight planets revolving around it and their satellites, many small planets, comets, meteorites, and the interplanetary medium. All planets move around the Sun counterclockwise and all except Venus and Uranus in the same direction around their own axis.

The planets revolve in nearly circular orbits within a nearly flat disk. The four smaller and closer to the Sun are called the inner planets or the planets of the Terrestrial group. These planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are made up of metals and rocks. Therefore, they are also called rocky.

The outer, most massive planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) consist mainly of helium and hydrogen. They are called gas giants.

The planets of the Earth group are separated from the planets of the Jupiter group by an asteroid belt. It is located just behind Mars, orbits the Sun in the same direction, and contains thousands of minor planets. The asteroids of this belt are shapeless blocks ranging in size from several tens of kilometers to 1000 km. In composition, they are similar to the planets of the Earth group. The largest of these minor planets is Ceres (size -1000 km.). Behind the gas giants is a second ring of asteroids separating the Solar from other star systems ( Kuiper belt) . It contains objects consisting of frozen water, ammonia, methane. The most interesting and largest - Pluto , , , , And Eris. So, in general terms, you can describe the structure of the solar system.

1. Planets of the solar system.

With the exception of Earth, all the planets in the solar system are named after ancient gods. The five planets visible to the naked eye (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and) have been observed by humans throughout human history and have been called by different names in different cultures. Today's names of these 5 planets came to us from Roman culture. The Romans named these planets based on their movement and appearance.

Mercury

Mercury, the planet closest to the Sun, began to observe as early as the 14th century BC. Different cultures, in different periods of time, gave different names to this planet. The planet was originally known as Ninuri, and later became known as Naboo. In ancient Greece, at different times, the planet was called Stilbon, Hermaon and Apollo. The name by which we know the planet today came from the Romans, and is due to the fact that Mercury moves faster than other planets across the sky. Mercury is the fleet-footed Roman god of commerce.

Venus

Venus, being the brightest planet in the sky, it got its name in honor of the Roman goddess of love and beauty. For your information, this is the only planet in the solar system that was named after a female deity. Since it is the third brightest object in the earth's sky, it has been known since ancient times.

Mars

ars, the fourth planet from the Sun, named after the ancient Roman god of war. The reason for choosing such a name is obvious - the red color of the planet. However, not everyone knows that initially Mars was the god of fertility, and only later became personified with the Greek god of war Ares. Because of its proximity to the Earth, Mars is mentioned more often than other planets in ancient scrolls.

Saturn

aturn, the second largest planet in the solar system, got its name in honor of the god of agriculture, very revered among the Romans. According to legend, this god taught people to build houses, grow plants and cultivate the land. Why exactly this name was assigned to the celestial body is not clear, but, due to the active wars of the Romans, the name spread throughout Europe and Asia and became generally accepted.

Jupiter

Jupiter , like other planets, had many names in different cultures: "Mulu-babbar" in Mesopotamian culture, "Sui-Sin" in Chinese, "Star of Zeus" in Greek. The largest planet in the solar system received its final name in honor of the supreme god Jupiter, the god of sky and light.

All these Roman names were adopted in European languages ​​and culture, and subsequently became standards in science. The remaining three planets: Uranus, Neptune and now the dwarf planet Pluto, due to their remoteness from the Earth, were discovered much later, so the names were not given to them by the Romans.

Uranus and Neptune

When Uranus And several names for each planet were discovered, considered and used until one became the standard. William Herschel, who discovered Uranus, wanted to name it after King George III. Other astronomers called it "Herschel" in honor of the discoverer. Astronomer Johann Bode suggested that it would be more appropriate to use the mythological name Uranus, which would fit harmoniously with the five planets named in antiquity. However, despite the suggestion, the name Uranus was not widely used until 1850.

The existence of the planet Neptune was predicted by two astronomers (John Coach Adams and Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier). When the planet was discovered using telescopes, a dispute arose over who should name the planet. Le Verrier wanted to name the planet after himself. However, the name Neptune was proposed and became the standard used by scientists.

Earth

Earth is the only planet not named after ancient Roman gods. In science, several names have stuck to our planet. The name "Earth" (Earth ), derived from "soil, soil", was first found in English texts at the beginning of the 15th century. In Latin, Earth is pronounced as Terra (soil). The name Tellus is also used. The Russian name comes from the Proto-Slavic root ZEM - which means "bottom". Most likely, people named their planet, their place of residence, by analogy with the soil under their feet.

Who is now responsible for the names of the new planets? Since the organization of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1919, it has been responsible for the names of all celestial objects. When an astronomer discovers a new object, he can submit an application to the IAU, and the IAU will in turn confirm it or offer its name.

Chapter 2. Making a model of the solar system.

1. 1. Analysis of existing layouts and structures of the solar system and the choice of design for the model.

Every year, millions of schoolchildren study the solar system in classes and circles. And, probably, the guys have already made models and models of the solar system more than once. Before deciding on the design of my model, I decided to see what has already been done in this direction. Having studied the literature and some Internet resources, I found several types of models of the solar system made by schoolchildren.

Flat fixed model.

A circle d-50-80cm is cut out of cardboard or fiberboard. Circular orbits of eight planets are drawn on it with a compass. Circles made of cardboard or polystyrene, depicting planets, are attached to the orbits. The model can be viewed on the table, can be hung from the ceiling.

3D ceiling model.

Several wire yokes are hung on a fishing line attached to the ceiling. Along the edges of the yokes, balls - planets - are attached to the fishing line.

Three-dimensional fixed model.

The sun and planets in this model are made of Styrofoam. The planets are attached to the Sun with bamboo skewers of various lengths. There are variants of the model - the planets and the Sun are made of plasticine, papapier-mâché.

Desktop 3D model.

A stand is installed on the stand - a screw with nuts. Planets (balls from rattles) are attached to the rack with wires of different lengths.

All of these models are interesting and worthy of attention, but they also have many disadvantages. The main one is the immobility of the elements of the model. And, after all, the real system is in motion all the time - each of the planets revolves around the Sun in its own orbit and at its own speed. For example - Mercury goes around the Sun in 88 Earth days, and Uranus in 84 Earth years. Yes, and the guys studying the solar system would like to touch the model, rotate the planets around the sun.

The model made in industrial conditions seemed the most interesting to me.

I decided to take this design as a basis. However, it seemed to me that for such a size of planets. their attachment mechanism is rather cumbersome. It will divert the students' attention away from the planets themselves. For my model, I decided to take larger planets, and a lighter rotation mechanism. Of course, without the help of adults, I can not cope with this task. Therefore, my grandfather, Bakshaev A.V., became an assistant in the manufacture of the model, and the class teacher Rykovanova G.V. became the head and scientific consultant.

1. 1. Making a model of the solar system.

2.2.1. Materials and components for the manufacture of a model of the solar system.

The following materials and components are required to make a solar system model:

Housing of an old ceiling lamp.

A set of plastic balls of different sizes depicting the planets. solar system.

Spherical ceiling lamp from a wall lamp.

A segment of a polypropylene water pipe.

A dozen thin tin tubes.

Braided copper wire, 1.5 mm thick.

Electric cord with electric plug.

Electric lamp.

Glue epoxy.

Paint (color - yellow and silver).

2.2.2. Stages of work on the model.

E
step 1. We take the base of the old ceiling lamp and, using a wrench, disconnect it from the base of the rack with lamp holders and lamp fixtures. We install the longest stand (in the factory kit) in the center of the base and get the base of the model (a stand and a stand on which the model of the Sun is attached). The base is painted silver.

Stage 2. We adjust the spherical ceiling from the wall lamp with a rasp to mount it on the rack. Paint the ball yellow.

Stage 3. On the prepared piece of polypropylene pipe, mark eight segments of 2 cm long. Centered drill holes for each piece. Then, using a pipe cutter, we cut the pipe with ready-made holes intobushings. Based on the dimensions of the available planet layouts, we determine the lengths of the rods for each planet and make them from tin tubes. We insert the end of the rod into the hole in the sleeve and fix it with epoxy glue. This operation is performed for all eight bushings. If the bushings are put on the central rack, we get a mechanism for rotating the rods.

Stage 4. We make racks for installing planet models from copper wire in PVC braid. We pass one end of the rack into the pre-drilled holes in the planet layout, and bend the other end at a right angle, insert it into the free end of the rod and fix it with epoxy glue.

Stage 5. We put the assembled rods (with bushings, racks and models of the planets) on the central rack one by one, in the order of the planets relative to the Sun.

We install the rack on the base, attach an electrical cord with a switch and an electrical plug to the wires in the rack.

We screw the lamp into the cartridge and put on the plafond-Sun. The model is ready.

1. 1. Analysis of the influence of the demonstration material (model of the solar system) on the assimilation of educational material by students.

To determine the influence of the demonstration material on the assimilation of educational material, we used the questionnaire method. The survey was conducted in 2 stages. 26 people took part in the survey, the age of the respondents was 8-9 years.

At the first stage, the survey was conducted among students after studying the educational material without using a demonstration model of the solar system. Students were asked to answer 7 questions on the topic "Planets of the Solar System":

4. What planets are called "rocky" or terrestrial planets?

At the second stage, the students were asked to answer the same questions, but after studying the demonstration model of the solar system.

The results of the surveys are given in Appendix 1. To compare the results of the two surveys, we have compiled summary charts, see charts 1-7.

7. What is the asteroid belt?

As we can see from the comparative charts, see Charts 1-7, the students' learning rates using the demonstration material - the solar system model - have improved significantly. Based on this, we can conclude that the demonstrative material has a beneficial effect on both the assimilation and consolidation of the topics covered.

Conclusion.

Thus, the following conclusions can be drawn:

The demonstration material, in this case, the model of the solar system, has a positive impact on the quality of assimilation of educational material by students. This is reflected in the comparison charts.

The task of the project has been completed - a model of the solar system has been created.

The creation of the model aroused great interest of the students of the class in the subject being studied. Presentations were prepared by my classmates:

Parade of planets. – Nefyodov Semyon

Rocky planets. - Kuvandikov Shamil

Asteroids. Asteroid belt. – Shelestyuk Georgy

The students of the class worked with the model of the solar system and expanded their understanding of the planets of the solar system. The hypothesis of the project was confirmed - the demonstration material really improves the quality of the studied material.

List of used literature

Analyzing the existing models of the solar system, I chose the industrial model of the solar system, so the next step in determining the design of the model was the analysis of similar models made at home. The model presented on the site turned out to be the most approximate. , I took it as a basis. Moreover, it would not have been possible for me to cope with such a task alone, and my grandfather, Bakshaev V.A. - an engineer by profession. He approved my choice and became the leader in the practical part of my project. org – interactive map of the starry sky

Space beckons with its mysteries and mystery. Let's try to understand the complex structure of the Universe using simple examples. Let's make a model of the solar system with the children and go on a journey to distant stars.

www.oyuncax.com

There are a lot of stars and planets in our Universe. They are far apart, but we can even see some with the naked eye. All planets are different, and only on Earth there is life. Our Earth revolves around the Sun, and with it seven other planets. Some planets have moons. The Earth, for example, has the Moon.

A simple rhyme will help to remember all the planets of our solar system:

All the planets in order
Call any of us:
Once - Mercury,
Two - Venus,
Three - Earth,
Four is Mars.
Five - Jupiter,
Six - Saturn,
Seven - Uranus,
Behind him is Neptune.
He is eighth in line.

In order for this short story to resonate with a child's soul, we propose to make a visual layout of the solar system, guided by one of the proposed ideas.

only-poleznoe.ru

The universe is infinite, but for convenience, let's put a part of it in a shoe box. Space in a box is easy to make, the materials are the simplest.

Remove the lid from the shoe box. Invite your child to paint the bottom and sides with the "color of the cosmos" - dark blue, black. Make stars from plasticine or colored cardboard and glue them to the walls of the space box. The most important part of the work is to blind all the planets of the solar system and the Sun itself. Help the child to attach the space objects to the strings and fix it on the top wall of the inverted box.

While we were making it, we memorized the names of the planets, tried to roughly maintain their sizes relative to each other and fix their location relative to the Sun and neighbors.

If your kid is one of those who like to study the issue thoroughly, in all the smallest details, be puzzled by the appearance of the planets. Discuss why this or that planet is of this color, what it is connected with.

www.lassy.ru

Mercury grey . The surface is rocky with large craters.

www.lassy.ru

Venus yellow-white. It has this color because of the dense layer of clouds of sulfuric acid.

www.lassy.ru

Earth light blue. The oceans and atmosphere give it that hue when viewed from a distance. As you get closer, you can see browns, yellows, and greens.

www.lassy.ru

Mars red-orange. It is rich in iron oxides, due to which the soil is colored in a characteristic color.

www.lassy.ru

Jupiter orange with white patches. Orange is due to ammonium hydrosulfide clouds, white is ammonia clouds. There is no solid surface on Jupiter.

www.lassy.ru

Saturn light yellow. The red clouds are covered with a thin haze of white ammonia clouds, giving the illusion of a light yellow color. There is no hard surface.

www.lassy.ru

Uranus pale blue due to methane clouds. There is no hard surface.

www.lassy.ru

Neptune pale blue. It is covered with methane clouds (like Uranus), but due to the distance from the Sun it seems darker. There is no hard surface.

www.lassy.ru

Pluto light brown. Rocky surface, dirty ice methane crust give it such a shade. Sometimes they talk about it as the 9th planet of the solar system, but you should know that not so long ago it was excluded from the list of planets and attributed to dwarfs. Astronomers have substantiated the reasons for this.

Good afternoon or evening everyone!

Soon we will have Cosmonautics Day. The space theme always attracts children with its mystery and mystery.

Parents can tell interesting stories about astronauts, solve riddles about space, learn the names of the planets, and make a model of the solar system with their own hands with their children. The layout can be made large or small, depending on the material. place in the children's room. It will be interesting for the child to play, learn the names of the planets or simply invent space tales.

Recently, my granddaughter Yulia and I made a model of the solar system from foam balls. And today I will show you a master class.

Some information about the solar system

Children, studying space, realize that all the planets revolve around the sun.

Our Earth revolves around the Sun in one year. All planets revolve around the center of the universe in a certain amount of time.

For example, Mercury revolves around the Sun in 88 Earth days, Uranus in 84 Earth years. There are 8 planets in the solar system. Pluto was recognized as the smallest planet. Let's remember the name of all the planets.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

The planets that are close to the Sun are very solid due to the constantly high temperatures. As the planets move away from the Sun, the temperature drops.

Features of some planets

The smallest planet is Mercury. It is closest to the Sun.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the planet is scorched. On the bright side, the temperature is + 430 degrees, on the dark side - -170.

Saturn is interesting in its structure. He has a ring that is made up of rocks and ice. The temperature on the planet is -150 degrees.

DIY model of the solar system with children. Master Class

Let's prepare everything we need. For the model of the solar system, we took a piece of thin foam that we found with grandfather.

What else do we need:

• foam balls of different sizes;
• acrylic paints;
• toothpicks or skewers;
• tassel.

We make planets from foam balls.

Tell children about space and astronauts. Play games, read poetry.

Styrofoam balls can be purchased at any craft store. All planets are different sizes. We did not have enough different balloons, so we made small planets - Mercury and Mars from the newspaper. To do this, we crush a piece of newspaper into a ball. Wet it with water, wring it out, make a ball. We wrap the ball several times with toilet paper, moisten it again with water, form a ball of the desired size. We take a little glue in our hand, distribute it over the surface of the ball. Irregularities will create the relief of the planet.

We send the finished balls to dry. By the way, if there are no foam balls, all the planets can be made in this way, dried, then painted.

We place the sun in the center, and all the planets around it.

We take the largest ball - it will be the Sun. We paint it yellow.

Then we paint all the other planets, choosing the paint by color. The smallest planets are Mercury and Mars, then we take slightly larger balls for Venus and Earth. Giants - Jupiter, Saturn. Approximately the same, but Saturn has a ring.

We put foam balls on skewers so that it is convenient to paint them. The ball is not pierced to the end.

We used the following colors: Mercury had to be made gray, and Yulia painted it orange. Venus is blue and green, Earth is blue and green. You can also add yellow. Mars is red.

Jupiter is orange and the stripes are white painted, as well as a large red spot.

Saturn was made yellow and the ring orange. Uranus is blue and Neptune is blue.

Julia painted the balls and left them on skewers to dry.

Saturn needs to make a ring. We made it out of cardboard. Two circles were cut out, toothpicks were inserted between them, sealed and the other end of the toothpick was placed in a ball.

Our planets are ready!

Model of the solar system made of foam. We have it all in holes. They painted the polystyrene black, painted circles - orbits of the planets with acrylic paint.

All dried well. Then they placed the Sun and all the other planets in the center: Mercury, Venus, our Earth in third place, Mars, then the giants - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune

The balls were attached with toothpicks to the foam. Everything is holding up well.

Such a model of the solar system will help the child to get to know the planets better, learn their names.

The layout can be made smaller, in the form of a circle, just arrange the planets around the Sun on sticks or skewers.

Our Julia immediately molded Luntik and his friends from plasticine and began to play with them and send them into outer space.

This is so easy to do with a child model of the solar system.

Write comments, share information with friends.

Best regards, Olga.

To make it easier for a child to learn school material, there are visual aids. And in order to learn to think on a “universal scale”, the universe must fit on his desk. And this is a great opportunity to show your creative abilities and, together with your child, make a model of the solar system with your own hands.

The joint creativity of parents and children always has a beneficial effect on friendly and trusting relations between them. And in this case, it also has a cognitive goal that will broaden the horizons of not only the child, but also the adult. Our solar system consists of the Sun and nine planets with their satellites.

These are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. They have different sizes, colors and at different distances from the Sun. This must be taken into account when making a model of the solar system.

In the layout, we simulate only the planets, but if you wish, you can also designate their satellites. To observe the size of the planets in relation to each other, you can focus on the photo:

Infinite universe of crafts

So how do you make a solar system mockup for kids at minimal cost? There are several ways.

The most primitive model of the solar system can be made from plasticine or salt dough, painted in the desired colors. It is suitable for the little ones.

This model will give the child an idea that all the planets revolve around the sun, about their number.

• we blind the orange sun;
• brown-orange Mercury;
• in the same color we sculpt Venus;
• blue and green will be the Earth;
• black and red Mars;
• Jupiter will be brown;
• Saturn is blind with rings;
• Uranus will be of blue + gray mass;
• We sculpt Neptune from blue;
• gray Pluto.

We string all the "planets" on wooden skewers and attach them to the "Sun". For greater clarity, skewers can be made in different lengths. Ready.

A model of plasticine can be made on a plane:

As a gift for a small schoolchild, you can make a model of the solar system from papier-mâché.

Papier-mache (translated from French - “chewed paper”) is a plastic mass made on the basis of paper, with the addition of binders and adhesives (starch, gypsum, glue).

The paper layout is the simplest and most affordable in execution. A detailed master class with a photo will help in its manufacture.

Materials for work:

• newspaper;
• gray toilet paper;
• stationery glue;
• plywood sheet;
• colored gouache paints;
• quick-drying blue paint;
• some silver beads.

We make a lump of newspaper soaked in water.

We wrap it with toilet paper and roll this lump into a bun. Lubricate the paper ball with glue, evenly distributing it over the surface.

Leave the balls to dry at room temperature or on a battery.

While the parts are drying, we will prepare the basis of the layout: we cut out a circle of the required size from plywood, taking into account the size of the prepared planets. Paint it blue.

We make scatterings of stars from silver-colored beads, evenly distributing it on a circle, according to the picture of the starry sky.

We paint the dried koloboks, imitating the color of the planets.

We will make the rings of Saturn from silver paper.

Be sure to accurately position the planets in relation to the Sun.

We screw the screws from the bottom of the plywood, according to the location of the planets.

We wind our “planets” on top of them.

Our model of the solar system is ready.

During the manufacturing process, you can tell your child about the structure of the solar system, about the planets and about everything that will be interesting to him. And such a gift will acquire special meaning for him.

A wonderful idea to create a model of the solar system as an element of the interior of a children's room.

To begin with, we make out part of the ceiling as a starry sky.

We make planets from papier-mâché as described above.

We paint them with acrylic paints. It is more effective to use glossy ones.

We pay a little more attention to the sun. We color and make rays from a strip of faux fur.

We fasten the fishing line to the “planets” and fasten it with paper clips or a stapler to the ceiling, observing the order in which they are located from the “Sun”.

Simple memos

Sometimes it is difficult for children to remember the names of objects that they do not often encounter in everyday life. To make it easier for them to memorize, adults come up with special rhymes in which the first letter of the word matches the first letter of the name of the subject to be remembered. Such rhymes are called mnemonic.

Probably, many in childhood learned the names and order of the colors of the rainbow according to the phrase "Every Hunter Wants to Know Where the Pheasant Sits."

To memorize the names and order of the planets in the solar system, children's poems and funny phrases were also invented. You can learn with a child a poem by Arkady Khait:

• In order, all the planets will be called by any of us: one - Mercury, two - Venus, three - Earth,

Four is Mars, five is Jupiter, six is ​​Saturn, seven is Uranus, followed by Neptune.
