In seventh grade we spend some time finding our place in the universe. I think this web site would be an interesting way to begin this unit http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/cosmic/cosmic.html.

Another wonderful web site that will wow my students is the Powers of Ten which can be reached by clicking this site. http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/

This web site has a simplified explanation of the solar system with all of the concepts that I teach. I think my students would enjoy using it. Click her the enchanted learning web site     http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/astronomy/planets/
