My Take
I thought the information provided was very informative for students. They could learn a lot from this website. It may be difficult for students who struggle with reading and comprehension. But overall, for students who want to learn about things related to space, this is a great website!
How I Use It
This would be great to use for a science project. There is a wealth of information provided related to all aspects of space. It covers Space, the sun, the Earth, the solar system, people and technology, and parents and educators.
