Elementary Unit Study Astronomy | Grades 1-4

Astronomy can be a compelling and imaginative study in which even young children can delight. Putting together a unit study for elementary aged student may include a variety of picture books and simple hands-on projects, but you may also want to include some biographies and games as well. The resources shared are suitable for all ages, but may be especially enjoyed by students grade 1-4. While some of the resources I have collected over the years are outdated and hard to find, the resources for elementary are newer and hopefully easier to source. If not, I recommend getting books that are similar rather than exact, especially because often outdated books contain material that's been revised. Some of the books I have for our astronomy unit date back to the 1980s and 1990s! While we navigate the outdated material with ease and humor, I advise purchasing newer resources when possible, and especially in subject areas where modern technology provides new and fascinating discoveries. The blog post that accompanies this video covers the Waldorf pedagogical approach to teaching Astronomy to student aged 11-13 in great detail as well as provide non-Waldorf resources for an Astronomy unit study for elementary and middle school aged students. https://www.pepperandpine.com/astronomy/ Check out the Geometry tutorials https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJxUV0rOnlxw0r-JYVPD31u4y_7d0lsdo Waldorf Main Lesson Astronomy | How to Put Together a Waldorf Astronomy Block https://youtu.be/ACEFzv0G4Rk Middle School Astronomy Unit Study | How to put together a Unit Study https://youtu.be/1wSLXhQvcvM Elementary Astronomy Unit Study | How to put together a Unit Study https://youtu.be/1wSLXhQvcvM Astronomy Trivia Cards https://youtu.be/XzAN2GUQubU Astronomy playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJxUV0rOnlxzvF42ikJ4CG6Hzi7nrwulD&feature=shared Check out the astronomy materials like the constellation Cards and ribbon at Hatching Curiosity Hatching Curiosity https://hatchingcuriosity.com/shop Check out Ticket to Learning https://tickettolearning.com/ Find me here: https://twitter.com/PepperandPine https://www.instagram.com/pepperandpine/ https://www.facebook.com/pepperandpine https://www.pepperandpine.com
