The Navigators are on a mission to create a model that represents how far away the planets are. We started with the sun at one end of the playground (even though we know that the planets revolve around the sun). Using footsteps to represent distance, the planets started walking away from the sun. Who knew that Mercury was so close! We continued moving away from the sun, after the asteroid belt the distances were further and further away. Pluto ended up standing on the fence at the opposite end of the playground!
