Online Discovery Moon

Go to the Moon with ScienceWiz(R) Book and Online Discovery Kit. From phases, eclipses, craters, origins, tidal locking, moon dust, moon rocks, to the discovery of water-ice -- prepare for mankind's return to the Moon with this 52 pages, fully illustrated book. The giant lava tubes discovered just below the surface may prove to where humans form shielded colonies -- perhaps in your lifetime. The Online Discovery version includes a flip-book that guides children through each project visually and includes embedded animations, videos, games, and interactive simulations. It integrates the best of online interactive play with hands-on projects.
