Getting Started
One of the most incredible areas of science is astronomy. I'm constantly amazed by how much astronomy inspires excitement and awe in people, no matter what they study or what careers they have later in life. There's just something magical about the celestial skies, and that's what I'm going to share with you in this section.
Our first dip into astronomy is going to cover planets, stars, the sun and moon, and let you play with phases, transits, and ways of observing different astronomical phenomena, just like real scientists do. Although there's a handful of activities here, if you feel your student is ready for it, feel free to dive into the full-blown Astrophysics section and find experiments that will challenge and engage them in a meaningful way.
