I purchased this resource to use during online learning but have continued to use it each year during in-person instructions as well. This fits well as part of the grade 6 Ontario Science curriculum. Students enjoy picking one of the planets to study.

I am a teacher but actually used this as a parent. My daughter had a solar system project and picked the planet Neptune. I purchased this resource for her to organize and present the facts about her planet in a clear, concise, and visually appealing way. It fit perfectly on her diorama.
