Resource appropriateness is a never ending problem teachers have to address with every lesson plan. Above you have reviewed my acquisition of five educational resources that have been deemed as appropriate or not. This essay will provide the explanation as to why they have been determined as such.

The motorized Solar System is a 3D replica of the plants as they orbit the sun. This aid would be good for early childhood because the color and motion will capture the attention of this age group. The model takes an abstract concept and creates a realistic and tangible connection with the lesson. The hearing impaired would also be suitable to use this visual aid because it requires predominantly ones sight to appreciate it. Thus the bright colors, motion and shape
