Publisher's Description of R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey - Astronomy Level 2 Teacher Guide

RSO Astronomy 2 has been created specically for home and small group use. The course assumes no science background for teacher or student, and there's no need for an expensive laboratory. Astronomy 2 uses natural settings that encourage students to explore the world and the sky around them. The materials needed for labs and activities are commonly found items.

The course is contained in two books (student text and teacher guide). The student text starts each chapter with an entertaining written lesson that is followed by several components intended to reinforce the lesson, address the needs of different learning styles, and engage students in hands-on learning and research. These components include lab sheets, lab reports, problem sets, activities, famous science research assignments, poetry, quizzes, and tests. The teacher guide provides all the help a science novice needs to assist her student including suggested course scheduling, summaries, additional material and explanations, sample reports, learning objectives, answers and suggestions, and test answer keys. Divided into 12 chapters, Astronomy 2 provides a complete semester-long astronomy course that is generally completed in 12 to 16 weeks. Some lab work, such as monitoring the sun and the moon over an extended period of time, is continued after completion of the main course.

1 Question
Why did you choose this?

We choose this to assist us teach Astronomy 2 to our son.

We used Pandia Press Biology last year and we enjoyed it. The labs are easy to do and fun and we liked the extra "people in science" sections in each chapter. The chapters are easy to follow and understand.

it was recommended to get both the student workbook and the teacher's guide. I was looking for a secular astronomy book.
