Science-NASA App

I really like the NASA app. This app has an interactive map of the solar system. I would use this in instruction in my classroom. When a planet is clicked on, pages come up that have a lot of facts about that specific planet on them. It also brings up a close-up image of that planet. I also think this would be a good reference tool for students when they are working on projects. Other than the interactive image of the solar system, there are many other featured pages that have images and other facts about our solar system. I really liked that this map included Pluto, but as a dwarf planet. I think it is beneficial for students to know that it used to be considered a planet and that students should still include it as a dwarf planet in their studies. Students can also learn about the NASA program and the missions that they went on. I think that this would be the best app on the Solar System because it includes a lot of materials and statistics and puts them in terms that students can understand even at young ages.
