Make a Halley's Comet Orbit Model.
Podmore, Francis; Fleet, Richard W.
Physics Teacher, v23 n8 p490-91 Nov 1985
Describes a simple three-dimensional model of Halley's Comet orbit (which is much more informative than a two-dimensional drawing) to illustrate spatial relationships and visualize how the comet moves relative to the earth. Instructions for model assembly are given along with a template which can be photocopied and glued to cardboard. (JN)
