Bob the Alien's Tour of the Solar System is designed to inform children about the wonders of the universe, answering some of the questions that most children ask about the world around them. It is useful as an online aid to assist children already learning about space or for those wishing to learn the subject for themselves or further their knowledge about the subject. It is recommended by the Home Education Association which supports home education in Scotland and is linked to on many educational websites.

The website is constantly expanding, with suggestions for what to add next coming from all kinds of users of the site - students, educators and parents. This section is designed for teachers and parents and will hopefully become a kind of meeting place for these people to share knowledge, advice and expertise in teaching about space. It will feature ideas for projects, suggestions for exercises and hints and tips on to explain some of the more inexplicable topics, such as how to get a learner to understand the real size of the Solar System. 

This section is still in the design stages (hence there not being a lot on it yet!) so if you have any ideas of what you would like to see in it, or in any other section of the website, please let me know by emailing bob@bobthealien.co.uk .
