I'd
been looking for a way to deepen and extend our Astronomy lessons. We
used Apologia's Astronomy and it's worked wonderful for the 4th, 2nd
& K -- but the 6th grader had already absorbed most of the
information from her independent reading. So, I as we progressed
through each chapter, I made Montessori cards for her (and the others)
to extend the lesson. She colored 6 cards of a sun and then using a
diagram I found online, sketched in corona, core, convection zone,
etc. I copied the cards so she had duplicates and she can match the
picture with the label and match the label with the definition. It
helped! So, I took information from each chapter in
Exploring
Creation with Astronomy and made more cards.
