Homemade CME/Solar Storm model?
I'm doing this for state science fair coming up. Judges like visuals, and I need to make one. I did my project on how Earth's magnetic fields are affected by solar storms. I know I will have a ball painted to look like Earth, and a ball painted to look like the sun. I need to make it look like a CME is coming off the sun and showing Earth's magnetic fields are being distorted. I dont know what to use to show Earth's magnetic fields(maybe rubber bands?) and a CME affecting them. Help? Pictures, sites, and videos might help. Thanks!

I would suggest using wires to show the magnetic field. Bailing wire is cheap, and there's a chance your dad might have some laying around in the garage like I do. You could stick them into the ball at the poles, and curve them very much like the many images you have seen diagramming the field. Sorry, I don't know of any sites to send you to, though.
