Focus On Middle School Astronomy Lab Workbook

With the Focus On Middle School Astronomy Lab Workbook from Real Science 4 Kids, 3rd edition, students will explore how to create models of the Moon and planets, understand the scale of the solar system, read a star atlas, make a comet, and more!

This 140-page softcover Middle School Astronomy Laboratory Workbook includes 12 hands-on experiments that incorporate the Astronomy concepts found in the Student Textbook. Students will explore concepts such as constellations, measuring distances, lunar and solar eclipses, modeling the Moon, modeling the planets, using a star map, modeling our solar system, discovering life on other planets, classifying galaxies, and searching for nebulae. 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 experiment:

Experiment 6

• "Binoculars or Telescope" 

Use the experiments and prompts in this Middle School 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 Middle School 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!
