A good starting point in this award-winning homeschool elementary science curriculum. Jeannie Fulbright presents a scientifically sound and God-honoring study of astronomy for grades K-6. Content covered includes the major structures of our solar system, details about each planet, the Earth’s moon, the asteroid belt, stars and galaxies outside our solar system, space travel, astronauts, and more!
This book begins with a lesson on the nature of astronomy, and then it covers the major structures of our solar system. Starting with the sun and working towards Pluto, the student will learn details about all planets in the solar system. Along the way, the student will also learn about Earth’s moon, the asteroid belt, and the Kuiper belt. After that, the student will move outside our solar system and learn about the stars and galaxies that make up God’s incredible universe. Finally, the student will learn about space travel and what it takes to be an astronaut!
The activities and projects use easy-to-find household items and truly make the lessons come alive! They include making a solar eclipse, simulating the use of radar to determine a hidden landscape, making a telescope, and making an astrometer to measure the brightness of a star.
