Astronomy Exploring Beyond Earth

From ancient times people have studied the heavenly bodies and their movements in space. Today, the rapid development of technology has given us a new understanding of Earth, our solar system, and the universe. The activities in this self-directed learning unit encourage your students to discover how the ideas about our solar system have changed over time. They can draw pictures or make up a song to show how moons from different planets are different or alike, make a collage of the special items astronauts need to survive in space, or find out how ancient peoples read the night sky to navigate, plant crops, and keep track of time.Zolg, Carolyn is the author of 'Astronomy Exploring Beyond Earth' with ISBN 9780913705032 and ISBN 0913705039.
