Google Earth is a great resource that allows children to view their world and even galaxies in outer space. Fly anywhere on Earth to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings, or the canyons of the oceans! Google Earth is a great resource for all subject areas. Look up a setting from a book you are reading. Look at a famous building like the White House! Where does your favorite animal live?

Go to Google Earth for educators for lesson plans and ideas for using Google Earth with your students.
