Teacher Guide for the 36-week, 9th-12th grade
science course!
The vital resource for grading all assignments from the Survey of Astronomy course, which includes:
- Facts that challenge secular theories and models of the universe - how it began and how it continues to amaze the scientific community
- Information about our universe and God's powerful hand in His created cosmos, including how the moon could only have been placed in its orbit by an all-knowing, all-powerful Creator.
OVERVIEW: The Psalmist wrote, "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the Son of man that You visit him?" (Ps. 8:3-6). Students taking this course will tour the universe, marveling at our galaxy through full-color star charts, easy-to-use illustrations, and even glimpses of the red supergiant star Betelgeuse over 3000 trillion miles away without the need of binoculars or a telescope. They will also be able to answer questions like: "How do phases of the moon work? When will the next solar eclipse take place? What is that bright star setting in the west? How do I find Saturn? What sorts of objects can be seen with binoculars?" These questions and many more are easily answered with the helpful tips and basic understanding of astronomy presented through the materials included in this course. Take a few moments to stand and look up at the glorious night sky, appreciating the majestic beauty of God's vast universe.
FEATURES: The calendar provides lesson planning with clear objectives, and the worksheets and quizzes are all based on the materials provided for the course.
