Solar System E-Book Review (4 Stars)
I found this E-Book to be an extensive resource, well-deserving of its title, The Solar System. It covered four prominent features of the Solar System : “Earth in Space”, “A Look at the Planets, “Asteroids, Comets, and Meteorites” and “Formation of Our Solar System”. There were slideshows, animations, interactive visuals, “Hands-on-Activities”, and plenty of interactive simulations that I found to be very helpful in further understanding the material. There was also videos here and there to help visual learners, along with audio to accompany the text which can benefit students who struggle with reading. This eBook also includes a “Search” button that allows you to search for information so if you need to go back to a certain topic you remember reading about to help you answer a question, it can be done in a quick and effective manner. I also liked how there were quizzes at the end of each section to help students hit checkmarks and not be so in the dark on what to expect when it came to the post- assessment. Overall, if you are looking for a resource that summarizes a topic area as large as the Solar System this is the perfect resource for you! The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is just a little bit long, so what I would suggest doing is reading through it and taking the important ideas from each chapter:)
