Ever feel like there’s just soooo much to learn about the worlds beyond our world, but you don’t know where to begin? Thankfully, National Geographic knows how you feel. They’ve put together this very cool 3-minute video that is a short, but essential, look at each of the planets in our solar system. Watch it and then let us know: which is YOUR favorite planet, and why?
Once you’ve finished with the video, this link will take you to the Games section of their website, where you can waste a little time hunting down aliens or protecting a space station. We particularly like the game Pluto’s Secret, but we’ll let you decide for yourself which game is best.

Pluto’s Secret is amazing! I think it’s pretty cool how National Geographic has a section for kids. I wish there were more educational games on the web.
