This is a well-put-together collection, containing different types of sources such as scipacks, journals articles, books, and external resources, all of which are relevant to the collection topic. The artifacts in this collection contain a variety of ways to teach the phases of the moon, which are interesting and useful, as well as information on the subject for the teacher to use.

Overall, this is an invaluable collection for educators looking to teach elementary students about plant structures.
