This model of a solar system was created by Yanni Chen, a communications major who is very interested in STEM education and digital education. Yanni created this using Adobe Aero, which allows you to build your own custom Augmented Reality experiences. Augmented reality is an immersive experience in which we can see, hear, and feel digital content that is overlaid on to our physical world. AR is pushing the boundaries of reality and making it more intuitive, immersive, and interactive for all of us! Try it out and leave feedback below!
Planetary Orbits and Movements:
Question: As the planets begin spinning around the Sun, what do you notice about the speed and path of each planet? Which ones move the fastest or slowest?
Activity: Have students rank the planets based on their orbit speed and discuss how their distances from the Sun affect their movement.
Size and Scale:
Question: Compare the size of each planet. How do the sizes of the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) compare to the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune)?
Activity: Ask students to create a model scale of the solar system based on the relative sizes they observe in the AR experience.
