We have been working on carrying out a fair test to investigate orbit times.

We used a ping pong ball tied to a string to model a planet and its orbit. We changed the size of the string so it was a smaller or larger orbit and then timed how long the orbit would take.  We will now look closely at our results to determine if we can prove that the further the planet from the Sun, the longer the orbit time.
