All About the Planets

PRODUCT SUMMARY

What is a planet? We live on one, but there are others. Are they all like Earth? Is there life on other planets? All About the Planets takes children on a tour of the nine planets of the solar system, explaining the vital statistics about each -- size, distance from the sun, temperature and why some are rocky and solid while others are made entirely of gases. It’s a fun journey from Mercury to Pluto. Spectacular NASA footage and lively animation will pique kids' curiosity. Hands-on activities are ideal for students to use as ideas for science fair projects. One of five volumes in the Space Science for Children Video Series in the Schlessinger Science Library. Part of the Schlessinger Science Library for Children Collection. This title correlates to the National Science Education Standards for Earth & Space Science -- properties of Earth materials, objects in the sky and changes in Earth & sky. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
