Astronomy - Week 1



Here are the ressources I use for this block:
Geology and Astronomy
Sky Phenomena
The Constellations: Stars and Stories

I also used drawings I found on Pinterest and on this great blog. As she says on her blog, the point of this block is to help the child understands our relationship with the cosmos around us. The earth, the moon, sun and stars, where they are in the sky and how they "move around us". It was a pretty exciting block for all of us, especially since camping all year long allows us to be very in touch with the sky, sun, stars and moon.

Monday: We read chap. 15 to 17 in Kovac's book and the girls draw this in their Main Lesson Book.



Tuesday: We read chap. 18 to 21 in Kovac's book and the girls draw this in their Main Lesson Book.





Wednesday: We read chap. 22 to 25 in Kovac's book and the girls draw this in their Main Lesson Book



Thursday: We read parts of Chapter 1 in Sky Phenomena (I skipped the very technical parts) up to the Mythology sub-section and the girls draw this in their Main Lesson Book.



Friday: We read parts of the Mythology sub-section in Chapter 1 in Sky Phenomena (and the girls draw this in their Main Lesson Book.
