Great book, very useful for teachers!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Exploring the Sky: Projects for Beginning Astronomers (Paperback)
This is a very practical book full of history and information that is very helpful for classroom teaching. I teach 6th grade and found the diagrams and projects interesting and helpful in building an understanding of the sky.
