Space Exploration (Eyewitness Books)

This is a great book about the history of space. It is a little outdated, being published in 1997, but it has a great introduction about space and astronaut training. It also leaves off with the future of space travel. I think it would be fun to see what the last 20 years have accomplished since the publishing of this book.

This informational book explains the various parts of space exploration. The concepts that are covered may be a little outdated but would give students who are interested in space a great place to start. The book offers the student many pictures that help explain the various information about space. It would be a great book for students to understand the excitement that comes along with the start of space exploration. The sections on the future and what lies ahead could lead into a student comparing what was expected to happen in space and what actually did.

This book is very fun and informational. I feel like this book should be for older students and should be used for fun. This book is very lengthy if you were to read every word. Overall, I think this book is great but it can be used to introduce new topics or to add some fun thoughts about science in the classroom.

This book was about the history of space exploration. It was a great resource as it featured lots of pictures with labels and captions. It has the text features of a textbook like contents, index, and glossary. The book also features a resources page where students can see other places to find more information on space exploration. I would use this as a resource on a study of space. This book could also be used for an history lesson as it delves into the space race and how countries and governments competed. It is for upper elementary ages.
