Space Unit Study
By Amanda Bennett
Space, a wide open, never-ending collection of places and things that we are just beginning to explore! This unit study will help your children begin to see just how vast the universe it and how amazing God's creations are. From studying the early astronomers to the men and women who have traveled into space, learning about our solar system and galaxies, and so much more -- the study of space opens up a child's world as well as their imagination and curiosity about everything that is in the night sky.
This unit study is brand new and one of the most amazing studies that I've worked
on to date. Having spent many years of my life in Florida around the Kennedy
Space Center, I met some of the most amazing people involved in the space
program - astronauts, astronomers, scientists, dreamers and idea
people that all work together to help develop an understanding what is "out
there." Their efforts have helped develop all kinds of ways for us to learn
about the universe, and now this unit study helps to bring it all together for
the benefit of our children.
We will study telescopes, remote telescopes in space (the Hubble Space Telescope), satellites that circle the Earth, probes that travel to the outer reaches of our solar system and beyond, orbiting observatories (the International Space Station), as well as space travel past present and future. Please join us as we begin our adventure into space - learning about planets, stars, moons, meteors, constellations, galaxies, black holes and so much more!
The Space Unit study contains 20 days of lesson plans for two levels, Lower Level (elementary) and Upper Level (Jr/Sr High). The study also includes many online resources, book suggestions, project ideas, and much more. A fascinating learning adventure for everyone!

Using the Unit Studies on CDROM:
All of our Unit Studies and other books are in Adobe pdf format on CDROM. We use this format because it works on most Windows and MAC systems, and the Adobe Reader software that you need to use the books is already included in most computers used today. You can download the Adobe Reader software for FREE here if it isn't already on your computer.
