It was science week at an elementary school.
A third grade teacher was teaching the young kids in his class about the
solar system. He came in early one day and moved all the desks to the
side of the classroom on each wall. He proceeded to set up the sun and
planets using various sized styrofoam balls on stands that represented our
sun, planets and moons. It took several hours to set up and filled the
center of the class room.
Later that morning, after the children arrived, he walked around
explaining the orbits, and how things worked.
Afterwards the children could ask questions.
One young girl asked how the moon went around the earth. So he grabbed
the moon and showed her how it went around the earth.
Another young student asked how the earth went around the sun. So with
the help of the young girl the asked the first question, he show the earth
going around the sun at the same time the moon was going around the earth!
It took some coordination!
One of the brighter students then asked the question....if all these
planets go around the sun, then what does the sun go around?? The teacher
looked around the room, paused and said, "Good Question"!
Are we having fun yet?
Cheers!
