I saw when i was using google that you could make 3D buildings, weather, and scienic spots. I made 3 placemarks some on the Moon and some on Earth. With the 3D buildings I went to disney and looked at Cinderella's Castle. On the weather i saw a hurricane near Hawaii. With the scenic spots on the Moon i went and saw many of the picture of the actuall moon and was shocked that camera worked there!

I like d the gallery cause you can see the pictures of the buildings. I also liked the street view cause you can see the cars and buildings on the side of the roads. And the weather you can see what is coming near you.

I picked Wikipedia and it showed me thousands of places to find wikipedia. The same thing happened with youtube. Then I did Earth City Lights and it showed me the city lights.

in the first layer i used weather, in that layer it shows you all the differnt types of weather going on in the world. My next layer i did was the volcano layer, it shows you where all the volcanos in the world are. The last layer i chose was the ancient rome layer, in that layer i could see where all the building in ancient rome stood

On Google Earth my three favorite layers are ocean, places of interest, and Wikipedia. I liked ocean because you could see where shipwrecks were, animals are, etc. Places of interest was good because it should you where coffee shops, restraunts, and hospitals are. And Wikipedia because when you clicked on it, it would give you good information on the place you were visiting.

I love google earth. The first layer I tried was the weather, and i loved it because you could see what was coming to hit you. my second favorite was to zoom in and find restaurants with ratings and directions. My favorite of all was the street view because you could look almost anywhere you could want to. :-)

One of the many layers of google earth is the dinning layer. It can show you any resturaunt near. Another layer is the traffic view. This would be very helpful if your traveling and lookin for the shortest route.The last layer is street view. Steert view would be great for looking if there was a bad storm or ice on the road.All of these layers can be very useful.

I looked at the weather layer. It is very useful because you can look at any part of the world you want and you can see the weather there. It uses the same colors as the news on TV. The next layer was the street view layer. I think this would be very useful to anybody who needs directions to anywhere that has hidden roads or hard-to-see turns. The third layer I loked at was the Live traffic Layer. It shows the traffic speed on almost all the roads on the earth. It would really be useful if you are trying to find the fastest way to get to someplace. Nathan 4

Google Earth is a great way, I think, to find a certian place on the map in a high tech way. while I used it, I explored 3D buildings. That is now my favorite link on it. I like to look at the weather layer as well. The other layer was the picture layer. It shaows many different sites.

Well I learned that you can look at the weather. It's really cool you can look at the clouds, hurricanes and many other things. Also I really like the street view. It's really cool you can see the street you clicked on. One more thing is I love ocean layer. It shows beaches that you'd have in your intrest.

When you go to Google Earth you can type in your address and it will take right to the place you typed in. But if you go to street view it will show you the streets. And if you click on roads it shows you the highway.

i used many different layers. such as the ocean layer and went under water and looked around at the geographic features of the ocean floor. i also looked at 3d buildings and flew to new york to get an up close veiw of the statue of liberty. then i went to mars to amazed at what i saw such as craters and other cool things. i was even able to find where rovers landed to explore the mars surface. and those were the layers i used.

I liked the the 3d layer because I could see the Atlanta airport in 3d! I also enjoyed the weather layer and saw huge storms around the world it was very interesting. I also enjoyed the ocean layer because I got to see the oceans I have visited and the oceans I hope to visit. Overall I thought the google earth was very interesting.

One layer I tried was 3d, I liked it because if you zoomed in you coudlsee the buildings. The other layer was the weather , so you knew what the weather was when you needed to.
The other was the flight simulator, so I could just have fun pretending to fly a plane.

I like to use the ocean view the besty because you can go anywhere under water. The street view is cool but it look scoller in google maps. In parnornail view you can see everything. IT IS AWESOME!

When I was on google earth I learned about threee layers. I learned about the 3-D buildings one and that it does not really work on my house. It only works on larger buildings. I also learned about the weather layer and that when you zoom out a lttle bit, it shows you the weather and tempurature of the county that you are in. And lastly I learned about the traffic layer and when there are little green dots then the trffic is good and when there are little red dots, the traffic is bad. It was very interesting!

I learened that you can see the traffic,different oceans and the borders and layers. From a closer view you could see.

Google earth is amazing. You can do so much stuff with it. I laerned that you could do google Mars, moon, and sky. I also learned that you can go through a bunch of different layers like the volcano layer that lets you look into them. Also the animal tracker layer because I like to see and learn about all of the different animals. I liked the weather layer too because I can see what is happening with the weather around the world.Brennan 22

With google earth used the layers: Street View, Weather, and Ocean.
With street view I saw 3-D view of the street and buildings. With weather I got to see the weather of the world. Some places were very hot! With ocean views I got to see all the shipwrecks and ocean sports. Google earth is so fun to play with and you get to learn while you play!
