Students explore the solar system using this NASA-based interactive simulation tool. Learners navigate planets, moons, and spacecraft to observe orbital patterns, relative sizes, and distances within our solar system. This activity supports TEKS 3.8.D and 6.11.B (models of the solar system).
Skills: space science vocabulary, scientific observation, spatial reasoning, model-based reasoning. Suitable for whole-class demonstration or independent exploration across all grade levels.
