Fun review:
Here is a YouTube review of the Solar System app, since it is on the more expensive side. This review will give you a great idea as to wether or not this app will work in your classroom or school prior to purchasing.
Lesson:
1) Have students pair up and first explore the app in general as there is ample information and very cool pictures to look at.
2) Once they have had an 'explore' block, have students work on one planet in particular. They need to explore, research and learn all about that planet.
3) Have students then create a comic strip using Comic Life, educating other students about their planet in a fun and creative way. They should emphasize fun facts and interesting information. The purpose is to be as creative as possible using the research they have found.
