Astronomy Textbook

Take your elementary students on a journey through the Universe this year!   Exploring Creation with Astronomy investigates everything in space, from the sun, the moon, the planets, comets, asteroids and meteors to stars, galaxies and space travel. Through this in-depth study, your students will be able to answer questions that stump most adults, such as how to tell a planet from a star in the night’s sky, what causes auroras, how the sun's light gives us color, why we have seasons, how and why the moon goes through phases, how to find Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and, most importantly, why thermonuclear fusion and short-period comets give us powerful evidence for a young earth creation model for origins.

Each of the fourteen lessons is written to the students with engaging prose that captures even the youngest child's attention.

Throughout each lesson, narration prompts encourage students to relate their new knowledge in their own words, increasing comprehension and retention. Included are creative and fun notebooking assignments, vocabulary and learning activities that further their experience with the lesson. Through experiments and projects, your students will engage in hands-on learning such as building a small, but powerful rocket, building a telescope, discovering how radar works, making a compass, as well as creating an actual model of a solar eclipse. These and many more interesting activities and learning adventures will become part of your child’s knowledge base as they become experts in astronomy over the course of the year.

As with all the books in the Fulbright Science Series, this wonderful book includes narration prompts to help your student verbalize their learning, notebooking assignments that include fun activities like creating advertisements, comic strips, newsletters, writing plays, stories and letters to increase and solidify their learning, review questions at the end each lesson, fun projects and experiments that correlate with and build upon their knowledge as well as an accompanying Notebooking Journal that brings all their learning, creativity and projects together in one beautiful keepsake.

Increase your family’s enjoyment of Exploring Creation with Astronomy by making sure each child has their own Astronomy Notebooking Journal, which includes daily schedules, templates for completing the assignments, vocabulary crossword puzzles, review questions, project pages, Scripture copywork in both print and cursive, gorgeous, full-color lapbook-style miniature books the students create, as well as additional projects, ideas and book/video lists for each lesson.
