EISCO 13" 3D Solar System Model Kit - Realistic Planet Positions & Motions Around The Sun - Includes Detailed Experiment Guide - Perfect for Classroom Science Projects & Astronomy Learning

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology. EISCO Scientific manufactures and supplies lab equipment for education and industry. The company, founded in 1968 and headquartered in Rochester, NY, meets International Organization of Standardization (ISO) standard 9001: 2000. The model stands 13" in total height, and the outer most (dwarf) planet measures 10.75" from the sun. With the planets lined up straight, the model measures 18.25" wide. Show eight planets, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune This three dimensional model allows students to study our solar system - looking at planets' relative sizes and colors. It demonstrates why the planets are sometimes visible in the night sky and sometimes they are not. The model features a 5.9" sun in the center, and has eight planets situated on metal bars which can be manually moved around the sun to show relative positions at various times during the year. The sturdy base features a chart labeling each month and the location in degrees. Sun and planets are mounted on a sturdy base, which is labeled with each month of the year, allowing learners to explore the relative positions of the planets at during each month
