3lilreds in NC Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Anyone have an astronomy curriculum that they love? I'm looking at either Apologia or Christian Kids Explore Earth & Space (I think that's what it's called). ETA: These are the only two I've heard of, so I'm open to other options. Doesn't have to be Christian, necessarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquinas Academy Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 We'll be using RS4K Astronomy next year. I'm really excited about it.:) You can take a look at the whole book here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12Stars Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 We are planning on using Apologia along with some readers. I think I have to look more into the RS4K now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I'm using Apologia Astronomy with DD11, DD9, and DS5 and they all love it! Thanks to some great help from ladies here, I got the Notebooks for my older two, and the Knowledge Box lapbook for DS5 and they're both fabulous. Science is a favourite subject around here!!

mymonkeybug Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Haven't used this program myself but it is on the DREAM list. I signed up for their emails which always have super information in them. It is designed specifically for the homeschooler. http://www.classicalastronomy.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cschnee Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Intellego unit studies http://www.intellegounitstudies.com/ has a study on astronomy for grades 6-8 and another for grades 3-5. They both look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
