Project Earth Science: Astronomy

The hands-on, teacher-tested activities in Project Earth Science: Astronomy brings the sometimes daunting concepts of astronomy down to Earth. Background information, supplementary readings, and suggestions for integrating other disciplines provide the teacher with a framework to launch a successful introduction to astronomy. Students will discover Earth s uniqueness by examining it as a part of the whole one planet within our Solar System. How did the planets form? Are we seeing a star s present or past? Why is Earth s distance from the Sun so important? Project Earth Science: Astronomy will lead you and your students on an exploration that takes you to the stars and back.
