What I did was paint the planets according to their color!! Then there are sticks in the kit and u link the planets together!! That’s it!

I hope this helps!!

Vygotsky talked about something called Zone of Proximal Development. Basically, it is the difference between what a child can do on his/her own and what he/she can do with help.

Rather than do his project, help him do a project!

An astronomy project could be as simple as a mobile that shows that planets and their range from the sun. You could do that with pipe cleaners and foam balls!

Really great site!
