Update on the Solar System

I thought this journal article is a good resource for kids who want to learn more about the solar system. They are able to get an update on the solar system and compare and contrast how our solar system was like many years ago from now. They are also able to take in information on Pluto and find out why it is not considered a planet anymore. This journal article will help answer questions that students had on how our solar system changed over the years.

Beneficial information for students!

I gave this 5 stars because I felt that it can be a really helpful resource for students to use when learning about the solar system. It concentrates mainly on the asteroid belt, which is one of the most important characteristics in the solar system. It divides the inner belt and outer belt and is roughly located between the orbits of the planet Mars and Jupiter. By using this resource, students will be able to learn more about the asteroid belt and come to realize that it is one of the most distinguishing features in the our galaxy.
