Traveling the Solar System

In this 30-week class, your child will explore astronomy in depth. Author Jeannie Fulbright and NASA engineer Damian Ludwiczak team up to deliver Exploring Creation with Astronomy. This is part of the award-winning Young Explorer Series, voted #1 in homeschool science curriculum. This elementary Astronomy science course explores the far reaches of the universe and points students to the God that created it.

This curriculum contains a textbook and student notebook that we will use to learn about the Sun, the Moon, each individual planet, and other objects in our grand universe. At home, students will be expected to read around 10 pages from the textbook each week. Each page in the textbook contains a few paragraphs along with beautiful pictures and questions/information to keep readers engaged. During our class time we will discuss what was read, do activities in the notebook, and conduct experiments. This will be a fun class with light homework. Come join us in learning about the universe that God created!
