Scale model of the solar system! https://www.exploratorium.edu/explore/solar-system/activity/...

Have each kid 'adopt' a planet, give them the materials to construct the planet at the appropriate scale and they tell the group 5 fun facts about their planet when the group walks from Sun to Pluto. It is a WHOA experience for kids and adults about the emptiness of space. Scale for the stamina of your kid group, Pluto is way out there.

Oh yeah I remember doing this with an old science teacher when I was about 14. Our school grounds were pretty big being in a small country town but we couldn’t fit Pluto in without shrinking the sun/planets crazy small.
