Earth, Sun, and Moon Review

I think this is a very informative E-Book and was very useful to me when crafting a lesson plan about how shadows change due to Earth’s rotation on its axis. The book was well organized, displaying the content in an order that was easy to follow, summarizing the content at the end of each chapter, and ending with a quiz to review your understanding of what you read. The pages were filled with animations, images, and videos that enhanced the readings by providing visual representations of the concepts presented. The chapters of content were preceded by a chapter about the pedagogical implications for grades K-12, and are broken up into bands of grades. I found pedagogical implications for grades 3-5 to be especially beneficial to me, as my students are in 5th grade. It included several concepts that students in this grade band should know at this point in their schooling. I learned so much from this E-Book and I would recommend this to any educator or pre-service educator to aid with their science lesson planning.
