Review by: Peter Salisbury on Jan. 14, 2010 : star star star star star
What a great idea! My son will love this as he is interested in anything to do with Physics and space. This experiment will demonstrate very effectively the relative distances of planets in our solar system. The explanation is clear and easy to follow.
