The year 5 cohort has a total of 75 students. These students will be put into groups of 3 or 4
depending on whether all students are attending and participating.

There will be a total of 25 groups (3 students in each), therefore the budget is based off these
numbers of the amount needed for this STEM activity.

The string will be cut to size before the duration of this STEM project.

Each of the 8 different beads (size and colour to suit each planet) and one 5m string will be placed in
a zip lock bag with a number written on each. 25 bags will be completed.
