Solar System Ebook Review
The e-book did an excellent job covering the basics of the solar system. It covered Earth, the planets, asteroids, meteorites, comets, and the formation of the solar system. Lastly it went over ways to teach the solar system in the classroom, based on grade level. After each section, the book had an assessment to review. The e-book also contained numerous interactive features, including popups of common student preconceptions. That part in particular would be very helpful for me in a science classroom. Other interactive features included videos, check your thinking videos, and hands-on activities. The hands-on activities can easily be completed in the classroom, such as the spinning chair activity that demonstrates the law of conservation of angular momentum. Overall, the book did an excellent job giving an overview of the solar system.
