This wonderful book uses the classical and Charlotte Mason methodology
to give elementary school students an introduction to our solar system
and the universe that contains it. Narration and notebooking are used
to encourage critical thinking, logical ordering, retention, and record
keeping. Each lesson in the book is organized with a narrative, some
notebook work, an activity, and a project. The activities and projects
use easy-to-find household items and truly make the lessons come alive!
They include making a solar eclipse, making craters like those found on
Mercury, simulating the use of radar to determine hidden landscape,
keeping track of the phases of the moon, making a telescope, making
fog, and making an astrometer to measure the brightness of a star.
Although designed to be read by the parent to elementary students of
various grade levels, it is possible for students with a 4th-grade
reading level to read this book on their own. Grades K-6.
