My rating of this resource: *****
My experience using this resource: Earth Science

Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Provides access to remote instrumentation, Increases access to scientists, Provides additional content, Increases student engagement and motivation
Strengths: Great way to see the planets in scale and side-by-side. The site is easy to use and is a very effective learning tool.
