This course serves as the end of Semester 3 for Step 1 Science for ages 5-6.

This course develops literacy even as it introduces the student to the solar system, the Milky Way Galaxy, and the Universe in a fun, hands-on way. The methods that science uses to uncover the mysteries of the universe are also explored.

What is the earth?  What is a sun, and what is our sun?  Why does the sun look so small in the sky when it is many times the size of the Earth?  What is a solar system?  What are the planets in our solar system like?  What are asteroids and comets, and where do they come from?  What is a galaxy?  What is a black hole?  How does science discover things that are very far from Earth?

Five week's worth of study that will thrill your young student. A great introduction to astronomy, while throughout, the student develops literacy.
