This month we have been studing Astronomy in our homeschool class at the zoo...
All month we have been looking at the universe and its various parts... The kidlets have learned the names of the planets and their position and relationship to the sun...(even my 4yo DD can recite the planets in order from the sun)... They have learned all about the different types of stars and each ones relative life span and make-up... they know what is in the rings surrounding several planets and why certain planets appear certain colors... They talked about the different types of galaxies and what "lives" in each, black holes and why Pluto is no longer a planet... They even discussed the Space Shuttle...
and to end a great month in Astronomy, we are having a "Star Gazing" at the zoo on Thursday evening..
Well I am looking forward to getting in on these classes next year.
