Astronomy

This will be a hands-on class full of fun! We will study the basics of the field of astronomy: the sun, moon, planets, asteroids/meteors, the Kuiper Belt, dwarf planets, galaxies and more! Our classroom learning will include conversational lessons, copy work, some reading and writing, videos, journal work and craft projects (occasionally edible).

We cover the bulk of each lesson in class, any homework assigned is meant to be supplementary and fun. We will be doing as many craft and art projects as we possibly can with our supplies budget. I do not have any formal training in art, but I definitely want to inspire some creativity in our kids, and have some fun, as we learn about all of the amazing things God has created in our universe.
