Comment on this resource
This graphical interface on CD-ROM allows access to Earth science information, animations, games and activities for K-12. It is organized by spheres: atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and cryosphere; the modules can be run alone, or as a linked system. Each sphere contains a library of hot topics, general topics and images that can be updated over the Internet, as well as who, what, how and why sections. The Houston Museum of Natural Science developed Earth Update as an interactive museum display, but it is appropriate for learners of all ages.
