Janice VanCleave's Astronomy for Every Kid

• Why do planets spin?
• How hot is the sun?
• What keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth?
• What are Saturn's rings made of?
• What's 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 you'll learn about the constellations using a shoe box planetarium. You'll chart the movement of the stars with nothing but a string, a marker, an a nail. And you'll use a toy magnet to simulate the Earth's protective force field.

Each of the 101 experiments is broken down into its purpose, a list of materials, step-by-step instructions, expected results, and an easy to understand explanation. Each activity has been pretested and can be performed safely and inexpensively in the classroom or at home.
