Using the fruit has helped the children to see the difference in the sizes of the planets, with Jupiter being represented by a water melon and the Earth with a cherry tomato, etc.
Following on from making our loo roll and fruit solar system, the children then had to draw the planets in the solar system to show they understood the sizes of the planets in relation to each other and the sun.
They have used the Adventurous, Co-operation and Creativity gems for this activity.
