75 Space Flash Cards – STEM Learning Resource - Solar System, Stars, Galaxies, Planets, Satellites, Universe - Astronomy Flashcards for Science Students & Future Astronauts – Grade School & Homeschool

These will last a while. The image is nice and crisp, they are beautiful. Greta info for learning.

These cards were great and informative. Student enjoyed reviewing these as he learns about the solar system.

Good learning tool, but it would be great if the cards were larger with a larger font.

This is a bit of an oddity as flash cards go. Typically one thinks of flash cards as having questions on one side and their answers on the reverse. That's not the case here. Instead, each card has an astronomical object (or class of objects) depicted on one side, with five facts about that object on the reverse. So it's not really a tool for quizzing yourself so much as simply a novel way of presenting astronomical trivia. But fans of astronomy, children in particular, will probably have a blast flipping through these cards and reading about the cosmos.The cards themselves are well produced and beautiful to look at. With regard to the quality of information presented, I admit I have not yet sat down to read every single one of the 375 facts presented on the cards. Though one could do so without taking too much time, I think these are better enjoyed as something you could use to present yourself little nuggets of fact in small doses. However, I did spot check their facts, and found them to be well-researched and mostly accurate. The one thing to watch out for is that some of the numbers presented are rounded, so if you need a high degree of precision, you might want to double check some of the figures.Overall, it's a charming little deck of cards, and I'm glad to have a copy.

What was good:• Each card has 5 interesting facts about the object portrayed on the card front. These are not dry statistical facts but rather conversational. I am relatively knowledgeable about astronomy (as an amateur) and some of these facts were new to me. The writing is clear and descriptive.• The cards are “coated” with a glossy finish which definitely enhances the appearance on the image side.• The cards and deck box are made of relatively sturdy cardstock material, better than average among many card decks I have used.• The production quality was very good for the copy that I received.So, what’s so-so or not good:• These cards focus on the physical astronomy objects, and even with 75 cards can only cover the most significant objects. Your favorite(s) may be missing from the set.• The seller listing info (at time I am writing this review) says the cards are 2”x3.5”, whereas I measured them as being 2.5” x 3.5”, so a little bit larger than stated.This card deck is good for astronomy learning. Kids in later elementary school can understand most, but likely not fully grasp the concepts. Older kids and adults new to astronomy topics would appreciate this as a concise introductory summary.This review is for the “75 Astronomy Flash Cards Including Solar Systems, Planets, Satellites, Galaxies, Clusters, and Other Objects in The Universe - Briston” product.

Every morning I start my day reading about space weather since I like knowing when we may see Aurora Borealis and whether a solar flare will impact communications. This has made my children interested in space and now they frequently paint and draw the sun, planets, and galaxies. These cards are written in a simple enough way that my 6 year old gets the gist of what the objects/concepts are about, and I can expand on what the facts on the cards mean if she has any questions. She’s more interested in the “confusing topics” of space (versus straight forward object descriptions) when she looks at these cards versus reading about them in kids’ books about space.These cards are probably best for 10-13 year old children but inquisitive younger children may also be interested in these if they read the cards with a parent who can better explain everything. This is a nice set to have on hand if the power goes out during a storm. It’s also a good stocking stuffer for kids who love space or a regular present for any child who aspires to be an astronaut.

I was so disappointed in the size of these cards for the price. They are very detailed, easy to read, durable and provides hours of learning.

Nice layout and organization. The manufacturer says for "grade school," and they also recommend age, "15 and up." I think the youngest age of use would be for a precocious 5th grader. More suited for advanced middle schoolers. Nice educational cards and the art adds more interest. Quality feel to the cards as well.
