Teacher Recommended Resources
National Geographic's Traveler's Guide to the Planets. This is a visually spectacular resource for students learning about our solar system and the planets. The main page has two panels. The left side panel allows you to select which planet you want to learn about (Pluto is still listed, Earth is not since we live there) and what you want to know about each planet.
