re: Over the weekend I helped my son with his science (Astronomy) project.

I let him color them, using actual pictures as a guide. He did okay.

The poster is at school. I'll have to get a picure of it when he brings it home.

My wife said there were some fancy ones that were obviously done by their parents. I told her I bet we are the only ones showing the top 16 worlds ranked by size, and to scale.

I did draw all the circles for him so we would have the scale right. I had to use some large plates for Jupiter and Saturn and a compass for the smaller worlds. I took a book that showed all the planets, to scale. Then I scaled them up 3x.

You should have seen me. I was digging through the kitchen looking for plates or round lids, measuring each one with my ruler. My wife was liek, "What are you doing."

"I am looking for Jupiter and Saturn."

I found a 14 inch plate to trace Jupiter's circle with.

I also helped him look up the information for each world, but he typed in the information. He did most of the other work as well.
