Instructions:
Step 1: Use the compass to draw a 1 ft. (300 mm) wide circle on the foamcore...cut the circle out...this is now the base

Step 2: Draw a 6 in (150 mm ) circle on the poster board...draw around the orange in the middle of the circle...cut this area out so that you now have a donut shape...or ring...color it to look like the rings of Saturn

Step 3: Put putty in the middle of the base... jab the orange with the skewer and put the end of the skewer into the putty on the base
