Today's episode was recorded for the Covid19Ed podcast, designed for younger students to learning new things during a time of social distancing. But this one involves a lot of math! You will also need supplies including a pencil, some paper, a ruler, a calculator, some pencil crayons and even a measuring tape. Listen carefully how mathematics describes the solar system, how we used math to discover two major objects (a planet and the largest asteroid). For fun, I also threw in a mini lesson on the Goldilocks zone, where planets are not too hot and not too cold, but just right! Enjoy...this one will make you work for it!!
