In this post I have written on how to make solar system planet models making using thermocol balls – science project | howtofunda @craftpiller
Creating a solar system planets using thermocol balls is a great way to visualize the relative sizes and positions of the planets in our solar system.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to making a basic solar system model using thermocol balls:
Materials you will need:
- Large thermocol ball (representing the Sun)
- Smaller thermocol balls (representing the planets)
- Acrylic paints or markers
- Paintbrushes (if using acrylic paints)
Step-by-step instructions:
- Paint the thermocol balls:
- Start by painting the large thermocol ball yellow or orange to represent the Sun. You can use acrylic paints or markers for this.
- Paint the smaller thermocol balls to represent each planet in different colors. Here are the colors commonly associated with each planet:
- Mercury: Grey
- Venus: Yellowish-white
- Earth: Blue and green (for land and oceans)
- Mars: Red
- Jupiter: Orange and white stripes
- Saturn: Light yellow with a thin brown band (to represent its rings)
- Uranus: Light blue
- Neptune: Dark blue
