Specific to the actual objects themselves:
- They were easy to attach to a drop ceiling with small string and a paper clip (just one paper clip will hold them).
- Blowing them up took FOREVER. They provide a pump to aid in this process, but it wasn't especially helpful for speeding up the process, just for saving your lips from touching the terribly scary (chemically) smelling objects.
- One quarter of Saturn's rings just doesn't stay up all the way. I tried to readjust it a few times without luck. This makes it look fairly sloppy.
- The sun ended up looking a little bit oblong or ellipsoidish. Blowing it up with more and more air helps, but it doesn't quite make it spherical.
- The following "objects" aren't easily distinguishable: Mercury, Moon, Pluto. Nothing really sold me on which one was what.
- the patterns on all of the planets were not detailed from close up, but from about 10 feet away they look just fine.
All these things mentioned, I feel like I still got my money's worth, and paid for what I got! $35 to add a lot of context to your classroom? Yes!
