Capstone has released PebbleGo Earth and Space, the latest entry in the PebbleGo series of browser-based subscription educational tools for younger learners.

PebbleGo's database of articles features pictures with voice narrated text, highlighted words of interest with access to definitions, and links to similar topics. Article content is leveled for readers of grade levels K-3 and correlated with national and state science standards. PebbleGo also includes a report template for student writeups about articles they have viewed as well as a "cite this article" button for teaching the concept of citations.

While Capstone's previous offering covered animals, the new release introduces articles on weather, seasons, earth science, and space.

PebbleGo Earth and Space is priced at $395. A free trial and quantity discounts for multiple subscriptions are available.
