Teachers are always asking about these books!

Each volume has supplemental readings for both you and your students, as well as demonstrations and ready-to-go activities.Bring the heavens a little closer. Project Earth Science: Astronomy spotlights ways to teach students about everything from why Earth has seasons to what a light year is. Astronomy can be a daunting subject in the classroom for student and teacher, and this book suits the needs of both. For the student, hands-on, teacher-tested activities bring the concepts of astronomy down to Earth. For the teacher, background information, supplementary readings, and suggestions for integrating other disciplines provide a framework to launch a successful introduction to astronomy.P.
