Inside the building there was a big model of the space shuttle hanging overhead with a tiny spaceman hanging beside it to show how large the shuttle really is. There were posters of the planets on the walls. Against one wall there was a set of scales. The label said: How much do you weigh on Jupiter? The kids all took turns weighing themselves. Kevin was the biggest boy in Ben's class. He weighed 80 pounds on Earth, but on Jupiter he would weigh 280 pounds! Wow! Ben weighed in at only 210 pounds. Little Emily tipped the Jupiter scale at 158 pounds. Everyone would be pretty heavy on Jupiter!
