Bring the Solar System to Life
Students can perform simulated experiments on using a telescope, projectile motion, solar energy, and scientific inquiry. Once they’ve completed the experiments they can move to the assessment component for writing or data analysis activities. They can also build a scale model of the solar system, study the rate of rotation of the planets, learn about Earth’s innate sunscreen, observe and write about solar flares, and watch comets and meteors fall, with the references on this software. The software also includes multimedia presentation resources and a printable teacher’s guide.System RequirementsMac: PowerPC, OS 8.2 to OS X, 32MB RAMWindows: Pentium processor, Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP, 32MB RAM
