Explore the wonders of the universe through hands-on fun! In
Astronomy Lab for Kids, science educator Michelle Nichols has
compiled 52 labs and activities that use everyday materials from
around the house to encourage kids, their friends, and their
families to look up, down, and around at everything from the
shadows on the ground to the stars in the sky. Mini astronomers
will learn about things such as the size and scale of planets using
sandwich cookies and tennis balls, how to measure the speed of
light with a flat candy bar and a microwave, how to make a simple
telescope with magnifying glasses, and so much more! Kids begin
their journey through the stars by creating a science journal to
track their experiments and record their observations. Foundational
skills, like how to make observations, measure angles, and
determine directions, are laid out first. The lessons expand with
explorations of size and scale; light, motion, and gravity; and
then on to investigations of our Solar System and finding
constellations in the night sky. Each lab includes: Time it will
take to complete Materials list Safety tips and setup hints
Step-by-step text and photos The science behind the fun Variations
or ideas for taking the project further Children of all ages and
experience levels will love the hands-on activities and adults will
love spending quality time learning with their kids or students.
The popular Lab for Kids series features a growing list of books
that share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host of
topics, including art, astronomy, clay, geology, math, and even how
to create your own circus-all authored by established experts in
their fields. Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear
step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished
samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a
yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are
open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with
different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults,
they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels. Gain
