Science teacher looking for educational tools

I am gearing up to teach Earth Science this Fall in the Bronx, NYC. I
am currently looking for online resources to include in the classroom.

Does anyone know of any solar-system or Earth-moon-sun system tools
that can be used to show the general course of the planets?

It would be nice to project a time-lapsed cartoon of the plantes
through one mellinum.

A a flash movie or Windows program would be preferred.

Any other reccomendations would be appreciated, including addition
educaional newsgroups directly for teachers.

Thanks in advance,

M Coughlan

There's always the "Solar System Simulator" not sure if its exactly what
you're looking for though.

You could try in the sci.astro.amateur newsgroup too

And this site at NASA:
