Preview: Hear it

Why do planets spin? How hot is the Sun? What keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth? What are Saturns rings made of? Whats a black hole in space? Now you can discover the answers to these and other fascinating questions about basic astronomy. In Astronomy for Every Kid youll learn about the constellations using a shoe box planetarium. Youll chart the movement of the stars with nothing but a string, a marker, and a nail. And youll use a toy magnet to simulate the Earths protective force field. Each of the 101 experiments is broken down into its purpose, a list of materials, stepbystep instructions, expected results, and an easy to understand explanation. Every activity has been pretested and can be performed safely and inexpensively in the classroom or at home.
