Layered Earth and Starry Night are powerful tools in the hands of teachers. Our curriculum based simulation software products can give students an interactive window into the very structure and function of the earth, atmosphere and universe, from topics like Day and Night, Seasons, Tides and Eclipses, to volcanoes, plate tectonics, earth quakes, the rock cycle and climate change. Our thoughtful, teacher-tested lesson plans provide multiple entry points into astronomy, cosmology, geology, earth science climate and weather.
