I used this at the end of the school year with my students for something to keep them engaged and learning and to help keep my sanity. They found it super fun and really enjoyed learning about the planets. We also watch Space Buddies and the Magic School Bus episodes that are about space and just made it a space theme for the end of the year 🙂
