I really liked this book. I found the subject matter very interesting, and I really liked that it was interactive. The book was very helpful for making sure that the entire subject matter was covered and made sure that we were educated. I like that the book gave models and drawings that helped me understand each module better. The interactive tests that were at the end of the lesson were very helpful.

This was a very informative E-Book, and I truly feel like I learned a lot from it! The random questions throughout, the mini quizzes, and the final assessment were very well put together and allowed me to really think about what I had learned. I also really enjoyed the interactive pieces because I am more of a hands-on learner. Thank you for this E-Book!

I think this interactive e-book is an amazing resource not only for students, but for teachers as well! I learned a lot of valuable information through the text, diagrams, models, and review questions. This resource allowed me to refresh my knowledge on the Earth, Sun, and Moon and I believe it would be a valuable resource when preparing lessons for students! This e-book could also be used by students to prepare, before lessons, or review, after lessons. I also love that the e-book provides a read-aloud option! Overall, I love this e-book and I plan to check more out in the future!

I thought this interactive e-book was an amazing resource! Starting with the layout- it was easy to navigate, the page numbers were easily accessible to flip back to previous pages, and the topics covered in each unit were visible throughout the unit. The review questions and videos made the unit engaging, and the games and simulations were a great way to gain the attention of students and teachers. Overall, I feel that this e-book is an amazing resource for teachers to use in their classroom for students to learn and be entertained at the same time.

This is such a great resource not only for students but for teachers also! There is so much valuable information provided with diagrams that help emphasize important information. The diagrams, videos, and interactive models were all high quality and highlight important details to remember. I enjoyed having review questions and check your understanding points so that important details are not left behind and concepts are remembered. I learned many new concepts and even refreshed my memory on concepts I will one day be teaching!

This text would be an amazing resource to pull from whenever your students are learning about the Earth, moon and the sun. I learned so much from reading over it and doing the final assessment at the end. On most pages, it provides you with great review questions from the information found on the pages; I think that it is a great way to test to see if your students are actually learning from the text. I also really like the graphics that it provides on most pages; they are a great way to connect what you or your students are seeing visually. It is very important for kids to have visuals and I just think it does a great job of capturing the text in the images. Overall, it is a great resource for teachers to use and pull from for their lessons!

This textbook was a great resource to use when creating a lesson plan discussing how shadow's change due to Earth's rotation. This book contained lots of visuals, was organized in a great and easy way to understand and provided detailed and informative explanations in each chapter. The visuals displayed in this textbook were extremely useful in helping me gain a greater understanding of the content. Additionally, having a short quiz after each chapter was very beneficial, as it helped me know exactly what understanding of the textbook I had and what areas I still needed to spend a little more time focused on. The textbook was also a great resource because it provided me with content that I was already familiar with and that my students should be familiar with, but it also introduced new topics and explained them in great detail. I learned a ton from the E-book and would recommend it to anyone who is studying Earth, Sun or the Moon or just wants to learn a little bit more about these topics!

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.

I found this Interactive E-Books+ Professional to be very useful in crafting my lesson plan on the phases of the moon. Firstly, I feel that it is very well organized. I appreciate how it starts with more simple and broad topics (i.e., general characteristics of the Earth, evidence of the Earth's roundness, and the nature of Earth's orbit) , before getting into more complex and specific topics (i.e., eclipses, seasons, and the phases of the moon). I think this aspect of the material was beneficial to me as a reader because it allowed me to build off of simpler knowledge instead of diving right into the difficult concepts. I also appreciated the regular check-in assessments that occurred on nearly every page. This was great for reviewing material and monitoring my progress as I went through the e-Book. Between the way the cognitive demand of the material increased gradually, and the consistent checks for understanding, this e-book truly was interactive in that it felt almost like a full online lesson in and of itself. In addition, I have to admit that the final assessment was significantly more difficult than I anticipated, and I had to use all of three of my chances to get a passing score. While frustrating at the time, I can now appreciate that the book's material had a high cognitive demand, and a lot of attention and effort was needed to succeed. This should always be the expectation when teaching and learning. Overall, I am very grateful to have found this material for my lesson plan - especially for it's detailed description and visual of the phases of the moon (p. 73). This was exactly what I needed to figure out how to explain the causes of the apparent changing shape of the moon over the course of a month to students.

This resource gave me a lot of good information to review a topic that I personally have not covered since being in high school andI will be teaching. The summary and evaluation after every section was a good chem in to make sure the informations was being retained. There evaluations were helpful to ensure the information covered was understood before moving on to new information. The E-book good pictures and short videos to visualize the information that was also in the text. The small blocks of information labeled "common student preconceptions" was helpful as a future teacher to be able to see possibilities for what my students may be thinking during this. lesson. The final assemsnt at the end of the E-book was challenging but not too difficult. I think this encouraged students to have productive struggle, and to think deeper about all of the information they were just introduced to. All in all the E-book gave a lot of helpful resources to help my as the teacher and the students to learn different information in a variety of different ways

This E-book gave me the information I needed to create a well-informed lesson plan for a fifth grade class. I personally, learned a great deal of information after reviewing each chapter and completing the final assessment. I especially appreciated the review questions, and opportunities to check your thinking throughout. These served as an emphasis to certain ideas and practices that I should include in my lesson about the Earth, Sun, and Moon. The common student preconceptions were also very helpful to me as a future teacher so that I could be more aware of a students prior knowledge. This E-book was full of so many great visuals that could be incorporated into lesson plans to aid in the understanding of students. Overall, I thought this E-book was extremely helpful to me as a teacher in order provide my students with the most effective, informative, and interactive lesson about the Earth, Sun and Moon.

I really enjoyed this scipack because I was able to learn a lot from it! It was more challenging than I was expecting, but it was a ton of really good information and gave me ideas and topics to cover in a future classroom.

One thing I really liked about this Scipack was it includes many different hands-on activities that students could do. The activities it included were right on topic and all could be really fun for students. It also includes videos for each topic and interactive images. These images helped me when I did not understand a section or a certain sentence of the Scipack. This Scipack was very informative and taught me many things I did not know or I had forgotten. This Scipack would be great for teaching and pulling activities and videos from for a Science class!

This is a great resource for teachers to use to deepen their understanding of space. I learned a lot from this SciPack and found it very interesting. There are tons of interactive simulations that would keep students engaged and help them be able to visualize the concept. I really liked how it was laid it and flowed. It was interesting and had lots of models and examples to help explain. I would say this is a great resource for both teachers and students to utilize.

This e-book was incredibly insightful. The book did an excellent job of covering the important topics of the Sun, Moon, and Stars as well as the seasons. This topic is covered heavily in my first grade curriculum, so it was helpful to build my knowledge to transfer it to the classroom. I really like that the e-book is interactive. All of the moveable pictures and check points allowed me to engage with the material in a deeper way. After competing the book, I feel more confident in my ability to teach about the Sun, Moon, and Stars to my students and in the future.

This e-book was a rather easy read while being packed with loads of factual information regarding the earth, moon, and sun. The 4 main parts of the text involved the Earth itself, Earth's orbit in relationship to the sun, the orbit, phases, and eclipses of the moon, and Earth's seasons. At the end of each section, a summary of the pages was provided as well as a short quiz. This greatly helped with reviewing the information needed to pass the final assessment provided at the end of the e-book. There were also questions to review learning spread throughout the pages of the e-book as a way to self-check yourself. All of the interactive links worked for me, however I do feel that some of them were hard to navigate; I found myself not knowing how to be successful with some of them, so I sadly gave up and moved on to the next section of reading. Overall, this e-book provided great information about objects in our Solar System. I highly recommend taking notes throughout and answering the questions provided for self-checking, because the final assessment was a challenge for me. Thank you, NSTA!

I enjoyed this specific e-book as it was engaging throughout each section. I really liked how there were multiple interactive activities and simulations in the ebook that helped see things from different points of view. I was consistently engaged in the topics and was left wanting to learn more as each section went on. This e-book had the review option throughout each section as well which helped to reinforce newly learned information. The only part that I found difficult was the final assessment as the wording of the questions as well as the format of the test questions caught me off guard. Besides my struggles with the final assessment I really enjoyed the rest of the e-book and could definitely see myself using this as a resource in the classroom in the future.

I also liked that it was interactive, that made it more engaging. I would love to use some of the interactive simulations such as building a planet that can inhabit life with my fifth graders! While I knew most of the information, it was good to be reminded about the "why" behind how our solar system works and interacts. The pedaolocial implications section was also very useful!

This is a fantastic resource for teachers and students to use! I think the visuals are extremely helpful for all ages. I really liked the review questions along the way. If I could change something about it, it would be the language to adapt to younger grades if needed. I also would change a few things about the interactive pieces of the models. For example, allow students to "mark" their location and view the seasons etc. from their location! Overall, it was a great book.
