Since 1993, the Pacific Science Center has literally hit the streets with an innovative curriculum entitled Astro Adventures. The center's Space Odyssey van has logged in hundreds of miles, traveling to schools throughout our state to distribute the popular curriculum.
Now the authors of Astro Adventures are back with a revised version of this popular text. Funded in part by the Washington NASA Space Grant program, this stunning book is based
on years of in-classroom research by authors, Dennis Schatz (Pacific Science Center's associate director), Doug Cooper and Paul Allen. The result is 115 pages of ready-to-use lesson plans that grab a kid's imagination and don't let go. Students get a chance to make a sun
clock, create a constellation, invent an alien, or study messages from space,
among other fun activities.
In response to teacher requests, the authors have also created a second volume geared specifically to the needs of the upper elementary grades.
