Focus On Elementary Astronomy Student Workbook

This 128-page Focus On Elementary Astronomy Laboratory Workbook, 3rd edition, includes 12 hands-on experiments that incorporate the Astronomy concepts found in the Student Textbook. Students will explore how to observe the stars, build a telescope, model the planets, track constellations, model an orbit, model a galaxy, make a comet & more! These engaging experiments are teacher-directed and use mostly household items.

While you probably have most of the needed materials for the Astronomy experiments in the Lab Workbook, we offer some of the harder-to-find items for the following experiments:

Experiment 2

• "2 Lenses with Different Focal Lengths" - 150 mm & 500 mm

Experiment 11

• "2 Bar Magnets" 
• "Iron Filings"

Use the experiments and prompts in this Elementary Astronomy Workbook alongside the instructional material and lessons in the Student Textbook and the instructional guide in the Teacher's Manual.

Simplify your life by purchasing the Focus On Elementary Astronomy Set. Set your student (and yourself) up for success when you receive the Student Textbook, Teacher's Manual, and Lab Workbook all in one!

Note: Real Science For Kids Pre-Level 1 has a new name and a new look! While you'll enjoy the same easy-to-teach and fun-to-learn curriculum as before, now it's called Focus On Elementary and is intended for grades K-4.
