This video is a great video, which has four different discs, so there is a lot of useful information to it. The video focuses on a number of different aspects of Earth. For instance, there is a portion of the video on animals; there is also biomes information from the ocean to the desert. It also spends time talking about the sky and other characteristics of everyday life here on planet Earth.

This model will be useful in the classroom because it gives a great visual as to how the moon, sun and earth all interact. It can show the students everything from night and day to eclipses and also the different phases of the moon. I would only purchase one of these models, set it in the front of the classroom, and allow them to circle around and watch it with the lights off. Then the students could go back to their seats and use tennis balls, bouncy balls and lamps, so that they can have the hands on experience, just like we did in the classroom.
