I'm preparing for a possible astronomy outreach program for some 5th graders next fall and came across some great material on Astronomy & Cosmology. Presented in general terms and seems relatively easy to understand. http://www.khanacademy.org/science/cosmology-and-astronomy Post Extras:       kenrenard scholastic sledgehammer Reged: 12/13/12 Loc: Dunmore, PA Re: Khan Academy Astronomy & Cosmology [Re: jhirsch]       #5614957 - 01/10/13 07:04 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thanks. I have a grade schooler who will love this. My wife and I did a presentation for my daughters first grade class. Brought in a telescope and some charts and the kids loved it.

Great stuff, but I think it's a little deep for 5th graders, More like 7th IMO Post Extras:       RussD member Reged: 04/20/06 Loc: Minnesota Re: Khan Academy Astronomy & Cosmology [Re: Bob Moore]       #5673017 - 02/10/13 08:37 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Kahn Academy is an amazing resource for education these days. I use it extensively for my math students to get in some extra practice. I did not realize there was an astronomy section. I am a big fan of the advanced mathematics section. Highly recommended.
