Popular history, science, and geography topics brought out of the classroom and into your home with fast facts, activities, and quizzes. Ideal also for homeschooling.
Some subjects are too interesting to be left at school! Carry on your love of science at home with Stars & Planets, an activity-packed exploration of space and astronomy.
Divided into sections, the book starts with fast facts on topics including stars, galaxies, planets, the Solar System, the Universe, and space travel; and ends with charts of Solar System facts and space record breakers. Using this information, you can complete the puzzles in the main part of the book, plus there are hands-on activities such as drawing your own scale model of the Solar System and creating a lunar eclipse. Finally, test your newfound knowledge with the quick quizzes (with answers supplied). You can keep track of your achievements throughout with a star chart to fill in every time you finish a page.

Nest Notes: In general, we can recommend this book for children, beginning at 11 years of age, in Grade 6. The information quickly becomes advanced enough for older children or even adult learners who haven't had such an overview before. In general, a great introduction.
