Geocentric vs Heliocentric

Date: 13th May 2022 @ 2:26pm

In science, 5CR have been learming about the geocentric model of the solar system and the heliocentric model of the solar system. After learning what the two words mean, we went outside to use our bodies to create the models. The geocentric model was easy as everything simply orbited the Earth. The heliocentric model was trickier as the children had to coordinate themselves so that the moon orbited the Earth and the same time as the Earth orbited the sun. Can you work out which photo shows which model?
