The probe asks students if the pizza was the sun, how big would the Earth be. There are choices for students to think about. The purpose is to see if students have an idea of the relative size difference between the Earth and the Sun. Using a pizza gives an object that most students should be familiar with. In addition, ideas for instruction are provided plus all of the background research necessary to educate a teacher to properly present the probe.
