How to make 8 Planets using Balloons and Rice? Let’s build a Solar System Model at home or school to learn the planets order.
Great project for preschool, kindergarten and school science lesson or home craft with kids. Children will love to hold the planets in their hands and play-out their various orbits. Helps to remember main description and order of each planet.
We used 9” and 12” balloons for each planet, and two large balloons for the Sun.
Mercury - rice: 1/8 cup, balloons: two silver, one dark grey
Venus - rice: 1/3 cup, balloons: two yellow, one orange
Earth - rice: 1/3 cup, balloons: two green, one light blue
Mars - rice: 1/4 cup, balloons: two brown, one red
Jupiter - rice: 1 2/3 cup, balloons: two golden, one red, one white, one light sky blue
Saturn - rice: 1 cup, balloons: one brown, one white, one golden
Uranus - rice: 2/3 cup, balloons: two light sky blue
Neptune - rice: 2/3 cup, balloons: two dark blue, one light blue
The Sun - rice: 3 cups, balloons: one red, one yellow
You can be creative and fill the planets with sand, beans, etc.

But where is Pluto? Pluto is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, a ring of bodies beyond Neptune. Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930 and was originally considered to be the ninth planet from the Sun. Pluto is very small, only about half the width of the United States, that's the main reason why Pluto was relegated to "dwarf-planet" status by the International Astronomical Union in 2006.
