How To Make A Paper Plate Mars

Mars has fascinated mankind for centuries. It has been argued as to whether life could actually be sustained on Mars, which makes it a good planet to study. When you are finished with your study on Mars, you will want to create a model of the planet to remind you what you have learned. This model doesn't have to be expensive, and can be made out of paint and paper plates.

Step 1

Use two paper plates to make your circle. Have the paper plates face each other so that the rims touch.

Step 2

Staple the rims together with a staple gun. Since you aren't putting anything in the middle of the plates, you only need a few staples.

Step 3

Paint the paper plate red on both sides. This is the main color of Mars.

Step 4

Add brown spots to your planet. The best way to do this is to get a picture of Mars to refer to. You can get one for the library or you can look up some pictures online.

Step 5

Give the paint some time to dry.
