The stars are just a glance away in this comprehensive and photo-filled introduction to a world of astronomy!

Package Includes:

Parent Lesson Planner
The Stargazer’s Guide to the Night Sky
Features: Each suggested weekly schedule has two to three easy-to-manage lessons which combine reading and worksheets. Worksheets and quizzes are perforated and three-hole punched — materials are easy to tear out, hand out, grade, and store. As always, you are encouraged to adjust the schedule and materials as you need to in order to best work within your educational program.

Workflow: Students will read the pages in their book and then complete each section of the course materials. Tests are given at regular intervals with space to record each grade. Younger students may be given the option of taking open-book quizzes.

Calculating Credits: This course should take between 60 to 90 hours to complete, depending on any additional hours spent on added research, essay writing assignments, or suggested lab work, if assigned. Elective courses that take 60 hours are commonly assigned ½ credit, while those 120 hours or more are
assigned a full credit; core courses require over 150 hours for a credit. Based on whether this is being used as a core or elective course, make your final credits calculation based on the total hours of coursework completed in the year.

Parent Lesson Planners are easy-to-use with suggested daily schedules, as well as three-hole punched perforated pages so worksheets, quizzes, and tests can be easily removed before students begin their coursework.
