These Kids Have A Great Grandpa

These Kids Have A Great Grandpa FARM HOME Toys/Games Samuel Stoltzfus was impressed when he saw a museum display that showed what happens as the earth rotates around the sun Using scrap parts he built a smaller 1 by 2-ft version at home “It’s fun to teach my 54 grandchildren how our solar system works ” Stoltzfus says “The model shows plainly why we have different seasons because of the way the earth tilts ” The earth is represented by a globe the moon by a golf ball wrapped in foil and the sun’s rays are provided by a flashlight at the opposite end of the model He manually spins the contraption showing how angles and light change in winter and summer The model comes apart and is small enough for him to take to meetings and events He plans to take it to the school where his granddaughter teaches for example He starts his lesson with Genesis and how God created the sun and then shows his listeners how everything works together to create light and dark seasons and moon phases “It’s a great tool for teaching ” Stoltzfus says Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Samuel Stoltzfus 3184a Mill Lane Gordonville Penn 17529 ph 717-687-8194
