Sorry to be a little behind in sharing
our astronomy lessons. I plan to catch up today. Here's
what we did on Tuesday, in no particular order.
Reading - Finish Finding the Constellations. Start Do Stars Have Points? (chosen by 13yo)
Writing - Interview sister, including a section on astronomy.
Dictation - Section from The Astronomy Book
History - Look at Galileo timeline. Read first few pages of Galileo for Kids together.
Science - Discuss ch. 2 of The Astronomy Book. Choose activity in Janice Van Cleave's book on Astronomy and complete it.
Grammar - I typed a section of Finding the Constellations and made mistakes. He had to correct the mistakes (spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc).
Read Aloud - Review story of Galileo we read two weeks ago (Mathematicians are People, Too). Read Christian perspective of Galileo from Champions are Scientists.
Library - Stopped at the library this afternoon and 13yo checked out several books on astronomy, solar system, etc.
Discussion - How do we know how bright a star is or how far it is from us? Posed by 13yo as we discuss Astronomy Book.
Math - lesson in MathUSee
Logic - Read and do lesson in Thinking Toolbox
Latin - Finish homework from latin class.
Read Aloud as family - Ivanhoe & Truth Quest History Middle Ages (what we have been studying together)
As you can see we continue to work on some areas unrelated to Astronomy.
