Aimed at 6 to 12 year olds this is a book about Space filled with interesting and challenging details through which children will learn about the Earth's place in the expanding Universe. ( )

This informatioanl book covers all basics in a simple format. The goes through all the planets and then further explores, stars, black holes and galaxies.

This is an easy to follow format for children to learn from. It has amazing ilustrations.

I would have the class make their own solar system mobiles. And then we could bring in some acutal pictures of planets taken from telescopes and discuss them.
