Planets of the Solar System!

What it is: 4 activities introducing kids to the Solar System.

What you do with it: the activities include: Information Center (listening to the information about the Sun and the planets: sizes, temperatures, distances, orbits), Planet Sizes (visual comparison of planet sizes), Planet Orbits (watch an animation presenting planets orbiting the Sun), Planet Card Matching (match pictures and names of planets).

What we liked: the concept, ease of use.

What we didn't like: the 'Information Center' is very static (you just listen to the narration). The scientific facts could be presented in much more 'kid-friendly' way. The other 3 activities could offer much more educational value.
