Paper planets of the solar system. DIY solar system model

It's no secret that all sorts of crafts that are given to our children at home in kindergartens and schools are actually given not to children at all, but to their parents 🙂. And it often happens that either the child said late about the homework, or we ourselves stretch out the “pleasure” ourselves - we pull with the creativity that has suddenly fallen on our shoulders until the last moment. And now tomorrow you need to carry the craft to the garden / school (underline as necessary), but we still have nothing ready. Well, it's okay - let's try to make a model of the solar system in one evening - quite a frequent homework, especially for schoolchildren.

Of course, it is better to have more time in reserve and take your time to make the solar system with your own hands. But if you happen to be Cinderella and in the evening you need to go through all the millet, peas, wheat to create, not something, but a model of the solar system, and not from banal plasticine, but in order to get a guaranteed "five", then we will not grumble, but Let's get down to business quickly. And of course, don’t forget to take a “colleague in misfortune” to help, the one who will have to take the rap for your joint masterpiece tomorrow 🙂

When a similar problem arose in front of me, I, of course, first of all climbed into the Internet to look for a ready-made solution. But none of the options I found satisfied me. Everything was either too simple and banal, like, for example, plasticine crafts or the solar system from cut-out paper circles-planets, or too time-consuming - a papier-mâché version would have looked pretty decent, but would have taken a lot of time to create. Therefore, it was decided to look for their own way. It occurred to me to use wet newspaper and glue. Surely, this method is not a know-how and has its own name, but I am not aware of its existence. The technique is somewhat similar to papier-mâché, only much faster. So let's get started.

To make planets we need:

• Newspaper. The content does not play a role :), but there is still a requirement for quality - the worse the quality, the better for us.
• Toilet paper or any other well-soaked paper. The quality requirements are the same.
• Glue. I had a clerical PVA - it fit perfectly, I didn’t experiment with another.

The good news is that until 2006 there were 9 planets in the solar system. In 2006, the last of the planets in the solar system, Pluto, was transferred to the category of dwarfs. For us, this means that we will need to make one less planet.

It must also be said that in the manufacture of a model of the solar system, we will have to deviate from reality more than once. Take, for example, scale. If you observe the scaling and the ratio of the sizes of the planets, then compared to the Sun, even Jupiter will be a baby, and even Mercury or even the Earth will be even more so. The same goes for the distance between the orbits of the planets and their inclination. But after all, we do not claim astronomical accuracy, but only five in the subject. Therefore, some deviations will be considered acceptable.

To observe the approximate ratio of the planets, you can use the following scale:

Well, the preparatory work is completed, we proceed directly to the manufacture.

We take a newspaper and crumple it into a ball.

It turned out a ball, but it is very uneven, pieces of newspaper stick out of it.

Now we moisten the newspaper lump with water ...

... and then wring it out, at the same time forming a ball.

This is already more like a planet, but still not enough.

Now wrap the ball with two or three layers of toilet paper ...

... and again wet it with water.

Squeeze out a piece of paper again and form a ball.

It's more like a planet. The outer layer of paper, as it were, holds the newspaper lump together, preventing it from unfolding. The uneven surface creates the effect of the relief of the planet.

To finally fix the spherical shape, we put a little glue on our hands and distribute it over the surface of our ball.

The planet is ready, you can send it to dry. It takes no more than 2-3 minutes to make one planet with some skill. You can dry it in any way possible, based on the time you have: with a hairdryer, on a radiator, or in a natural way in general. The size of a planet is adjusted by the amount of newspaper.

While the planets dry, we take on outer space. It is very good to use a piece of plywood for this purpose. But if there is no plywood, you can use thick cardboard. Cut out a circle of the right size. A suitable size in this case should be considered one that your child or you are able to drag to school / kindergarten. By the way, when making planets, you should also focus on the size of "outer space" so that the planets do not turn out too small or too large.

Color the cut out circle according to your artistic abilities. I don't have any, so I just painted the plywood dark blue with water-based acrylic interior paint. I didn’t use acrylic paint on purpose, but simply because I had it.

This paint dries pretty quickly, so after about twenty minutes you can apply stars to our celestial disk. The technology is simple: we dip a pointed object (for example, a pencil) in white paint and touch it to the disk. You can even draw constellations or star clusters this way.

Let's hope that by this point your planets have dried up, and they can be painted.

Gouache is well suited for these purposes. We make rings for Saturn from cardboard.

After coloring, send the planets to dry again.

After everything is dry, we need to fix the Sun and planets on the disk. If you are making a model of the solar system, so to speak, for home use, just glue the planet. But if you want your work not to be wasted and guaranteed to endure transportation, you should use self-tapping screws. Screw the self-tapping screw from the bottom into the disk ...

… and then spin the planet. The order of the planets from the Sun is as follows: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

It should turn out something like this.

The model of the solar system is ready. If you have extra time, you can add additional “buns” to your model: satellites of planets, comets, asteroids. Your model will only benefit from this.

Good luck with your technical work! And do not forget to involve your children in the manufacture of this kind of crafts. After all, this is not only a way to expand their horizons and abilities, but also a great option to have a good and unusual time with your child.

Reading time: 7 minutes.

Space beckons with its mysteries and mystery. Let's try to understand the complex structure of the Universe using simple examples. Let's make a model of the solar system with the children and go on a journey to distant stars.

There are a lot of stars and planets in our Universe. They are far apart, but we can even see some with the naked eye. All planets are different, and only on Earth there is life. Our Earth revolves around the Sun, and with it seven other planets. Some planets have satellites. The Earth, for example, has the Moon.

A simple rhyme will help to remember all the planets of our solar system:

All the planets in order
Call any of us:
Once - Mercury,
Two - Venus,
Three - Earth,
Four is Mars.
Five - Jupiter,
Six - Saturn,
Seven - Uranus,
Behind him is Neptune.
He is eighth in line.

In order for this short story to resonate with a child's soul, we suggest making a visual layout of the solar system, guided by one of the proposed ideas.

only-poleznoe.ru

The universe is infinite, but for convenience, let's put a part of it in a shoe box. Space in a box is easy to make, the materials are the simplest.

Remove the lid from the shoe box. Invite your child to paint the bottom and sides with the "color of the cosmos" - dark blue, black. Make stars from plasticine or colored cardboard and glue them to the walls of the space box. The most important part of the work is to blind all the planets of the solar system and the Sun itself. Help the child to attach the space objects to the strings and fix it on the top wall of the inverted box.

While we were making it, we memorized the names of the planets, tried to roughly maintain their sizes relative to each other and fix their location relative to the Sun and neighbors.

If your kid is one of those who like to study the issue thoroughly, in all the smallest details, be puzzled by the appearance of the planets. Discuss why this or that planet is of this color, what it is connected with.

www.lassy.ru

Mercury grey . The surface is rocky with large craters.

www.lassy.ru

Venus yellow-white. It has this color because of the dense layer of clouds of sulfuric acid.

www.lassy.ru

Earth light blue. The oceans and atmosphere give it that hue when viewed from a distance. As you get closer, you can see browns, yellows, and greens.

www.lassy.ru

Mars red-orange. It is rich in iron oxides, due to which the soil is colored in a characteristic color.

www.lassy.ru

Jupiter orange with white patches. Orange is due to ammonium hydrosulfide clouds, white is ammonia clouds. There is no solid surface on Jupiter.

www.lassy.ru

Saturn light yellow. The red clouds are covered with a thin haze of white ammonia clouds, giving the illusion of a light yellow color. There is no hard surface.

www.lassy.ru

Uranus pale blue due to methane clouds. There is no hard surface.

www.lassy.ru

Neptune pale blue. It is covered with methane clouds (like Uranus), but due to the distance from the Sun it seems darker. There is no hard surface.

www.lassy.ru

Pluto light brown. Rocky surface, dirty ice methane crust give it such a shade. Sometimes they talk about it as the 9th planet of the solar system, but you should know that not so long ago it was excluded from the list of planets and attributed to dwarfs. Astronomers have substantiated the reasons for this.

The planets revolve around the sun along a certain trajectory. To explain this to a child, make a layout on a horizontal plane. Draw circles and place each planet on its own "treadmill".

Tell us what layouts you got. We are waiting for stories and photos in the comments.

We are going on a very long journey into space. I have prepared a lot of interesting material, I will start my story by making models of the planets of the solar system. It will be something like a mini master class, so if someone is not familiar with this technique, they can look and try. Do not think that this will take a very long time, as there are certain stages of action and drying breaks in the work. In total, it will take you a week at most, but the result is worth it!

Papier-mâché is one of my favorites! It is convenient to use it when the necessary materials are not available, it is not difficult to manufacture and expensive materials are not needed, and it will not deteriorate during storage.

It all starts with the selection of suitable size balls or balloons. If these are balls from children's toys, then they must be tightly wrapped in cling film or put and tied in a plastic bag. Inflate the balloons and tie them well so that they do not start to deflate during the manufacturing process! I did not select absolutely exact proportions to match the size of the planets, otherwise it would have turned out to be very voluminous balls.

I used newspapers, paper napkins and white paper. The lower layers were glued with paste or wallpaper glue. All paper should be torn, not cut. The fact is that the torn layers lie more gently on each other and the ball is smoother. I pasted over all the planets at once and did it in two stages: the first day three layers and the next day two more layers. The last layer is best made from white paper. Then let it dry for a day or two. Readiness is easy to determine - the balls become light.

The next step is to get the balls and balls. Here you need to use a clerical knife and carefully cut into almost two halves without damaging the balls. At the same time, the balls are simply removed by piercing them.

Next, I prepared metal half rings by sewing them to the black braid. I need this, that in the future, not only just play with the planets, but also fix them on the model of the solar system. But more on that later. Inside the cut paper balls, I glued the tape with PVA glue so that only a half ring was visible. I glued it and glued it with another layer of white paper already using PVA glue for strength. And again the drying stage.

The next is the application of primer or thick paint on the balls to level the entire surface. You can buy ready-made primer, or you can simply use thick water-based or gouache white paint. And dry again.

Now additional details on two planets - Saturn and Uranus, which have rings. I cut out the rings from two sheets of cardboard, glued them together, cut out a circle of a suitable size and glued it to the balls with strips of torn white paper. I selected a suitable circle with the help of dishes in the house. If the ball did not slip, then the size was right. After drying, these rings were covered with soil.

Another technical digression, I had to correct my mistake already in the course of work, and I'll tell you now. Uranus is a planet that lies on its side, so it is better to glue the semi-ring with a braid here on a cardboard ring, so the planet will hang on its side.

Now let's move on to the fun part - painting. In this, Dima even helped me with extraordinary zeal! We made the first layers of paint just in a suitable tone, and more carefully drew the shades and details ourselves, putting in front of us photographs of the planets from the World on the palm of the hand set “Secrets of Space”. That's what came out of it.

The last thing is to cover the planets with acrylic varnish to preserve the paint. It can be purchased at art or craft stores. It is non-toxic and not dangerous for children. The continuation of the production of the model of the solar system is yet to come!

From the fifth grade, students begin to study the solar system. To make it easier for children to understand how the planets are located and move around the Sun, a geography teacher suggests making a model of the solar system at home. Consider the most simple ways to complete the task.

Layout of the solar system with your own hands - help

Before you start modeling, tell your child about the solar system using our abstract:

• Eight planets move in outer space in the vicinity of the Sun - the largest body in the solar system.

• Four planets are closer to the Sun - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, which have a strong shell and are visible to the naked eye.

• The far group is the giant planets. They have a gaseous structure and are removed from the daylight. These include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

• In addition, there is a zone of asteroids in the celestial field, all planets have satellites, and multiple meteorites, comets, and solid particles constantly fly in the sky.

• Fix the theory: watch the night sky, find the North Star, Ursa Major, admire the Moon and the millions of glowing stars in the Milky Way.

Do-it-yourself model of the solar system - an affordable option

Before starting work, look at the ratio of the planets in size so as not to be mistaken with the proportions (photo above).

You will need:

• Several newspapers
• Toilet paper gray
• A bottle of stationery glue
• Plywood
• Blue quick dry paint
• Gouache multi-colored

Getting Started:

• Crumple the newspaper into a ball with your hands. Wet it with water and roll it into a ball.

• Wrap the resulting figure with wet toilet paper, twisting the bun, then coat it with glue, distributing the liquid over the surface. Dry the balls - on the battery or just in the air, as time permits.

• While the blanks are drying, prepare the celestial territory - cut a circle out of plywood so that it matches the made planets and the child can take it to school without your help. Paint the sky with blue paint, and mark the star scattering with light highlights.

• Based on the natural coloration, make the Sun yellow, Mercury grey, Venus yellowish, Earth bluish, Mars purple. Jupiter paint in orange, interspersed with whitish and reddish-brown stripes. Paint Saturn with light green gouache, Uranus - turquoise, Neptune - deep blue. Send the material to dry again.

• Cut out rings for Saturn from shiny paper. Along the way, explain to the child that this planet is surrounded at the equator by flat rings, consisting of ice, dust, fragments of stones.

Important: the planets in relation to the Sun must be correctly fixed. See their exact location - .

• Fix the finished balls on the screws by screwing them into the plywood from below.

The model of the solar system is ready, the five is secured.

Do-it-yourself model of the solar system - a simplified version

The principle of this method is the same as in the first case: you need to make balls and attach them to a hard surface. The only difference is that the planets are made from foam blanks.

Prepare:

• Cardboard
• Styrofoam balls of various sizes (buy at the craft store)
• Paints, brushes, glue

We work:

• Color the balloons and the sky cardboard (refer to point two)
• For Saturn, cut out two paper rings, wedge spacer skewers between them and glue them together. Insert the inner sides of the sticks into the ball.
• Paint the sky dark and draw the paths of the planets on it with yellow paint. After drying, glue the balls to the cardboard sphere or place them on toothpicks.

An excellent layout came out, made from simple materials and with your own hands. Moreover, the child was in the wings, who not only learned to work with paper, glue, paints, but also received interesting information about our Universe.

“Humanity will not remain forever on earth, but,

in pursuit of light and space,

first timidly penetrates beyond the atmosphere,

and then conquer all circumsolar space"

K. Tsiolkovsky

Since ancient times, the eyes of people have been directed to the sky. Starting from the first steps on earth, a person felt his dependence on the sky, his life and activity largely depended on it. Our ancestors knew and understood "habits" sky. For them, the sky was alive, filled, manifesting itself in many ways. This love and knowledge of the sky must be brought up in older preschoolers.

Target: create model of the solar system and show by example that The solar system is a system of planets, in the center of which is a bright star, a source of energy, heat and light - The sun. Around which nine large planets revolve in orbits.

Material: stationery glue, scissors, sewing threads of different colors, balloons, foil, hoop, waste material (boxes paper, plastic).

1. Prepare the necessary material. Inflate balloons of different sizes according to the required size solar system(planets, The sun) .

2. Thread the needle and thread it through the glue.

3. Wrap each ball with thread and let the glue dry.

4. After the glue dries, remove the balloon from the threads, after untying it or bursting it.

5. For the planet Saturn, cut out a ring from foil or paper and glue it in the future planet.

6. Wind the threads around the hoop.

7. Cut out stars and comets from foil.

8. Make a ship out of waste material.

9. Hang all planets, stars and comets in accordance with the location of the planets solar system. Names to sign.

10. The model of the solar system is ready.
