Funded in part by the NASA Space Grant program, the stunning book was based on years of in-classroom research by authors, Dennis Schatz, Associate Director, and Doug Cooper, Supervisor of Teacher Education, of the Pacific Science Center. The result is 115 pages of ready-to-use lesson plans that grab a kid's imagination and don't let go. Students get a chance to make a sun clock, create a constellation, invent an alien, or study messages from space, among other fun activities.
