It's full of stars/teaching approach

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