Best Astronomy for upper Ele (7-8th grade)

[titianmom]

Hi all,

 

Anyone used a program that was really good/in depth for Ast at the 7th or 8th grade level? I'm getting lazy and dont want to build yet another subj.

 

Please, no Apologia elementary.

Mother of Divine Grace offers and Earth Science syllabi with a good Astronomy section

It's at a higher level than Apologia Astronomy, but it doesn't cover as many different things. Does that make sense?
