Description
Who has not looked up at the sky and marveled at the sheer beauty and number of the stars, or the craters of the moon, or wondered what makes a planet a planet? Where does one begin to study God’s Creation? A good starting point is the brand new, second edition, award-winning homeschool elementary science curriculum Exploring Creation with Astronomy from Apologia. Jeannie Fulbright presents a scientifically sound and God-honoring study of astronomy for grades K through 6.
In the 2nd Edition Astronomy Textbook, you will find:
- Biblical wisdom used throughout the textbook
- Infographics to help children see information in an understandable format
- 14 lessons updated with current scientific data
- Wisdom from Above and Think About This callout boxes which give special attention to God as Creator
- A new color-coordinated schedule for the textbook, notebooking journals, and lab kit
- Fresh layouts for activities found within the textbook
- All new full-color illustrations
- Space to journal each textbook and notebook activity
Exploring Creation with Astronomy begins with a lesson on the nature of astronomy, then covers the major structures of our solar system. Starting with the sun and working toward Pluto, the student will learn details about all nine planets (or is it eight? Your student will have to decide!) in the solar system. Along the way, the student will learn about Earth’s moon, the asteroid belt, and the Kuiper belt. After that, the student will move outside our solar system and learn about the stars and galaxies that make up God’s incredible universe. Finally, the student will learn about space travel and what it takes to be an astronaut!
We recommend that you spend the entire school year covering this book, devoting approximately two sessions per week to the course.
For grades K through 6.
