This is such a great Ebook! It is extremely interactive and interesting. I am currently working with 5th graders who are learning about the solar system, and this really helped me get a deeper understanding of the content. I loved the interactive pages that included a tablet, so you could do a small simulation to see the planets and their orbit. The only issue I had with the Ebook was a couple of the linked vocabulary words would not show the definition and the note section at the bottom was difficult to use due to being glitchy. Overall, loved this ebook!

I really liked this e-book. I normally have a hard time staying focused when reading, but with this one I don't think I got distracted once. I loved how in depth it went into the subject, and feel like this is a good way to review it, because I learned some things about the solar system that I didn't even know. I also liked how interactive the e-book was with the videos and checking my knowledge throughout the chapters. I also appreciated the quizzes at the end of each chapter, it really prepared me for the assessment at the end. Overall I really liked this e-book and would use it again when reviewing and prepping to teach this subject.

As someone who is not the biggest fan of reading, I found this book to be fairly enjoyable. The interactive portions of the book keep my attention and made me more engaged since it was not all just reading. I did like that the pages were short and almost like a slideshow. It helped me feel like I was moving through it at a good pace and not taking too long on one page.

I really enjoyed this interactive e-book. It had a lot of interesting information. It was easy to follow. I liked how the pages are shorter, so when you are reading it, it doesn't feel overwhelming. Learning about the different influences on how telescopes were developed was interesting. I also enjoyed learning about the different astronomers and how they used science to discover so much about the universe was fascinating. The first and second chapters about the planets and their characteristics would be perfect for the TN State Standards for 3rd grade. Unfortunately, some of the picture said interactive but when clicked on nothing happened. This was on several pages especially in the 2nd chapter. I was happy that the videos worked because they provided a lot of information, and it was nice going from one form of media to a different. This definitely helped keep my attention. If you want to learn or teach about the solar system such as its history, the planets, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, etc., this would be a great resource!

This e-Book is amazing! I thought I knew a lot about the solar system, but I was definitely wrong. This e-Book opened my eyes to a bunch of new knowledge about the solar system, while also reminding me of different things I had learned and just forgot about over the years. I can confidently say that I will be prepared way more now to teach about the solar system to my students than I was before completing this book. It gave me so many incredible pieces of information that I will definitely share with my students in the classroom and I even gathered a couple of different activity ideas that I can do because of ways it gave me information in this e-Book. I also enjoyed seeing all of the visuals/pictures throughout this textbook! I definitely reccommend reading this e-Book if/when you get the chance, I promise you won't regret it!

It is amazing how much information you can learn about our solar system! When you think about our solar system, you probably think that you know most of what there is to know about it. However, after reading/completing this e-book you realize how much you truly don't know. Throughout this e-book, you learn about the discovery of planets, their composition, and the various/additional parts of our solar system (such as comets and asteroids). I personally really enjoyed the interactive portions that showed you photos of the planets! It was an interesting read; I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to refresh and expand their knowledge on the solar system or to someone who is simply looking for an engaging book. To NSTA: I did notice a typo on page 18 of the "Earth in Space 1.3.1"; the paragraph on the view of early astronomers was accidentally printed twice.

I really enjoyed the content provided by this Ebook+. The content was in depth and organized in a very clear and concise manner. The content of this book focuses more on the solar system as a whole and has less content on earth and how it fits in the solar system. The ebook provides "evidence for understanding" which provides teachers with criteria and expectations they can hold students accountable for. Lesson and content objectives are also provided. As with all Ebook professionals, there is a pedagogical implications section that I find to be increasingly helpful when finding what to focus in on with students in order to ensure complete understanding.

The e-book did an excellent job covering the basics of the solar system. It covered Earth, the planets, asteroids, meteorites, comets, and the formation of the solar system. Lastly it went over ways to teach the solar system in the classroom, based on grade level. After each section, the book had an assessment to review. The e-book also contained numerous interactive features, including popups of common student preconceptions. That part in particular would be very helpful for me in a science classroom. Other interactive features included videos, check your thinking videos, and hands-on activities. The hands-on activities can easily be completed in the classroom, such as the spinning chair activity that demonstrates the law of conservation of angular momentum. Overall, the book did an excellent job giving an overview of the solar system.

I have always loved learning about outer space, the planets, and celestial objects, so I found this eBook to extremely interesting! The frequent "quizzes" within it were very helpful because they allowed me to assess how well I was understanding the material as I read. This eBook contained detailed information about the history of how we adapted our view of the Solar System, which I really appreciated! Also, I found the interactive slides of our Solar System to be very useful because I could directly compare the differences and similarities of all the planets in our system. I didn't realize how specifically and intricately each object in space is classified. Without a doubt, I would recommend this eBook for anyone who has the slightest interest in our amazing Solar System!

I loved the "Take Notice" points that repeated to remind you to remember that a student misconception might be that they don't really realize how not accurate a drawing is of the solar system. I also love how many student misconceptions that are presented throughout the book.

This interactive e-book is a wonderful, comprehensive overview of the solar system. The book goes over the history of the solar system such as the different theories that philosphers proposed and why some were later proven to be inaccurate. These theories included everything from the Earth's position in the Universe to the distance between the planets. Next, the book dove into the different planets and why they are classified into two different groups: terretrial or jovial (also known as gas giants). There are many different characteristics that explain why each planets fits into one of these two classifications. There are also anamolies to these theories, but the book did a wonderful job of explaining why those anomalies exist and what may have caused them. Afterwards, the book walked us through other space phenomena such as meteoroids, meteorites, and comets. History was discussed such as how earlier generations saw comets as bad omens or signals of new beginnings. Eventually, people realized that comets were on orbits as well and that is why we can see some of them at regular intervals. There was also a description of how meteoroid, metorite, and meteor are all the same object, but the titles are used to describe differnt positions and stages of this phenomena. Finally, the e-book covered the origen of the Solar System. This is done by observing the different theories and focusing on each individual aspect - how did the sun form? how did the planet form? how did the stars form? how did our solar system form? how did our galaxy form? To wrap pup, the e-book put it all together to guesstimate the age of our solar system and our galaxy. As a preservice teacher, I especialy enjoyed the pedagogical implications at the end of the book that showed how you would begin teaching something so complex as early as Kindeergarten by introducing the simple concept of how a magnifying glass makes things look bigger. This prepares students to later understand telescopes and how they have facilitated learning about other planets and space phenomena. I have always enjoyed learning about space because the concept that we are just a tiny part of the much bigger picture resonates with me. I enjoyed this text because it was very detailed and gave a wonderful review of what we know while leaving room for the things we have yet to learn about space.

The Solar System Interactive E-book gives teachers a substantial background on our solar system and space in general. It not only describes the planets, but goes into the detail about the other objects of space such as asteroid and comets. It included many interactive features to keep the reading engaging and interesting. The videos help the reader to visualize what the book is describing. Additionally, the contents of the book were organized, but still discussed a wide range of material. It started out with Earth and then described other aspects of the solar system. I believe this is an excellent resource for teachers to gain full knowledge about our solar system in just a few hours.

This e-book was a really good read. I learned a lot about the solar system that we live in. It was a really extensive resource and I was able to find what I needed from it. I don't remember learning much about planets as a child. So reading this before creating a lesson plan on the solar system was extremely helpful. I especially liked the figures and models representing the plants in respect to one another.

I really enjoyed this e-book! It contained so much interesting information! I learned a lot of new information while reading this that I had never known. It discussed how the solar system was formed, all of the theories throughout history, and all of the parts of the universe like planets, stars, comets, asteroids, meteors, etc. The interactive simulations are super cool and allows the reader to actually see what they are reading about. The quizzes and reviews were super helpful in retaining the information being read. The videos included in the book were so exciting! I watched them multiple times because it was super cool to see all of the phenomena. I would recommend this e-book to everyone! I can't wait to use this in my future classroom.

This ebook was a great read. I really learned a lot throughout the lesson. It has many good pieces of information. It provided many interactive stimulations for students to participate in. I learned many things including how dense planets are and how many moons each planet has. I did not know that mercury was the most dense planet, but now it does make sense as to why that is the case. This lesson is a great resource for creating lesson plans in the future. I really enjoyed this ebook.

This ebook is amazing and full of great information about the solar system we live in. It provides many opportunities to not only read information, but interact with simulations, review what you learned, and watch additional videos and images relating to the topic in each section. There was some information mentioned that I never knew so it was a nice surprise to learn something while reading it. For example, I did not know how many moons there were in this galaxy, and I did not know more than one planet had rings. I also did not know the difference between meteoroids, meteors, meteorites, asteroids and whatnot. I highly recommend this to other teachers or anyone wanting to learn more about the existence found in the solar system. This is great for creating lesson plans and refreshing our memory. I would definitely read this again and reference this in my future classroom.

I used this ebook to help me write a lesson plan about the phases of the moon. It was lengthy but I learned all about the solar system through reading, watching videos and interacting with different images throughout the ebook. This resource definitely taught me way more about the solar system then I already knew and helped me realize what should and should not go in my lesson about the moon phases. This resource helped me learn about the different planets and how each of them also have moons and some of them even have multiple moons-which I found fascinating! I would definitely suggest this source to someone wanting to gain more knowledge about our solar system!

This Ebook provided great information regarding planets, asteroids, comets, meterorites, and everything you need to know about the solar system. The Ebook was very helpful in learning information about the solar system because of all the cool features the Ebook provided. There were slideshows, animations, visual, simulations, and even hands-on activities. The "Check Your Thinking" and "Review What You Have Learned" helped summarize and further enstill the information into my brain. However, I wish the Ebook would have taken you to the information you were struggling with, in the Ebook. There is a final assessment at the end of the Ebook, but they aren't difficult as long as you went through the Ebook thoroughly. I highly recommend NSTA to students, educators, and administrators. These Ebooks are fantastic and provide great information on all topics of science. Thank you NTSA for this great opportunity and the knowledge enrichment on solar systems.

How can you go wrong with NSTA’s new eBook, the Solar System? I found it to be a comprehensive resource that covers four science objectives: “Earth in Space”, “A Look at the Planets, “Asteroids, Comets, and Meteorites” and “Formation of Our Solar System”. I loved the beautiful full screen videos that were provided to further illustrate the lessons along with audio to accompany the text. There were slideshows, animations, interactive visuals, “Hands-on-Activities”, and plenty of interactive simulations that I found to be very useful when I needed to demonstrate a concept. This eBook also included a “Search” button that allowed me to search for information using just a few key words. And the “Check Your Thinking” provided my students the opportunity to answer discussion questions or short answer questions in more depth. Another great feature was the “Review What You Learned”. This feature provided my students, in a multiple-choice format, the opportunity to review the concepts they had just covered. I highly recommend this book to educators and students wanting to explore what we know about our solar system and what is found within it.

I enjoyed reading this e-book and found the information in it very educational. I really enjoy that each page has the option to have it read aloud because I like to listen to audio books more than reading on my own. I feel like this book would be very engaging for students, but it also helped me learn a lot about space that I did not know before. Answering the questions through out the chapters helped reinforce what I was reading and was very helpful. Overall, I enjoyed this book and the experience that came with it.

I really enjoyed reading this eBook because it gave a clear and detailed explanation of how the Solar System works. I liked that it covered both the terrestrial and Jovian planets, their characteristics, and how they are different from each other. The book also explained important concepts like planet formation, meteors, comets, and asteroids, and even included information about how scientists study planets using spacecraft, telescopes, and orbiting probes. I thought it was helpful that it also explained things like the heliocentric model, retrograde motion, and the history of discovering the Solar System, which made the science easier to understand. What I liked most about this eBook is how it connected the planets, moons, and smaller objects to real scientific discoveries. For example, it explained how we know some meteorites come from Mars and why comets have long orbits. The illustrations and examples of missions like Spirit on Mars made it more interesting and easier to imagine what scientists are doing. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a good overview of the Solar System with clear explanations, real examples, and useful facts that can help with taking tests or just understanding space better.

I thought this was a great interactive read and I learned lots of new interesting information about the solar system that I hadn't known before. I think this is a great source but I noticed it is starting to become a bit dated. Their are lots of new discoveries happening about our universe and it would be cool to see some of these things updated in the book. I also noticed that page 18 had a paragraph of text that was repeated twice and their were a few pictures that had a symbol showing it was supposed to be interactive in some way but it did not allow me to interact with it. Overall, I think this was a fun and engaging way of learning more about the solar system and would recommend this read.

This interactive e-book about the solar system is both engaging and educational! This e-book is a perfect blend of stunning visuals, interactive elements, and well-researched information that makes learning about space exciting. The interactive features such as the 3D models of planets, and interactive quizzes make the learning experience fun and the content easier to understand. As a teacher, I really enjoyed the pedagogical implications at the end that allowed me the opportunity to learn how to utilize the content in my own 3rd grade classroom. The only critique I have is that some of the interactive options did allow me to click on them. for example, a couple of the "Take Notes!" button wouldn't open when I clicked on them. Overall, the interactive e-book is a must-have for anyone who loves space and wants to explore the wonders of the solar system in a fun and engaging way. Definitely recommend to everyone!

I just finished the Solar System e-Book. At first I was intimidated about the content, but found that the read aloud feature was very helpful if a page of information wasn't saturating into my brain. The information was concise and the mini-quizzes throughout the content helped solidify my learning of the content. In my youth I was always fascinated by the night sky and the celestial bodies. This content really helped me update my knowledge of what we now know about the Solar System and will hopefully help me be on my best game when presenting Solar System related content to my students.

This e-book was a good refresh of knowledge of the solar system. It was not only a review but it gave lots of new information. I also liked that they had recommendations for what lessons should be taught to which grades. I think this e-book is a good resource for teachers, especially those teaching higher order solar system knowledge. However, I do think this book could have included more background information. There were some basics that I think could have been elaborated. Overall, I liked this book and found it engaging.

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:)
