It's full of stars/teaching approach

Astronomy⁽ⁱ⁾ has been practiced for centuries and you don't need expensive equipment to do it! This first session aims to train the whole class⁽ⁱ⁾ to use a telescope and hopefully to provide an opportunity to engage in some active learning⁽ⁱ⁾ by using one. The lesson includes some naked-eye observations and tells how modern technology helps scientists know where to look. You can explore the scientific method⁽ⁱ⁾ and language⁽ⁱ⁾ at this point, using targeted questioning⁽ⁱ⁾ / differentiation⁽ⁱ⁾. Students may be able to engage in aninquiry⁽ⁱ⁾ project based around this work, perhaps for homework⁽ⁱ⁾.
