Description

This is just the resource you need to get middle schoolers ready for August 21, 2017—the day when millions of North Americans will have the rare chance to witness a total solar eclipse.

But the book’s usefulness won’t end when the eclipse does!

Solar Science offers more than three dozen hands-on, inquiry-based activities on many fascinating aspects of solar astronomy.

The activities cover the Sun’s motions, space weather caused by the Sun, the measuring of time and seasons in our daily lives, and much more. The authors are award-winning experts in both astronomy and science education, so they know how to prompt students to work like scientists by asking questions, doing experiments, comparing notes, and refining and reporting results.

They also know you have to make the most of every instructional minute.

The book contains plenty of ideas for related writing projects; grade-appropriate math examples; and connections to music, art, fiction, and history.

It’s also aligned with the three-dimensional learning encouraged by the Next Generation Science Standards and connects to the Common Core State Standards. Solar Science is ideal for teachers, informal science educators, youth group leaders, curriculum specialists, and teacher trainers.

You can use these versatile activities one at a time, as the basis of a stand-alone unit on the Sun, or as a comprehensive curriculum.

You get to determine the best way for your students to learn a lot while having fun with the Sun.
