Unit of the Week - Magnificent Moon Download N Go

Moons, walking on the moon, moon rocks, moon trees, the man in the moon, even moon cookies!


The Unit of the Week is Magnificent Moon Download N Go. Studying the moon will open up your child's imagination and curiosity about everything out there in the night sky!

 
When I was growing up, we spent many nights outside learning about the stars, the constellations, and the moon. I used to dream about being an astronaut, blasting off in a rocket to travel the universe and see it all! I will never forget the night that men first walked on the moon—seeing it on television and then running outside to look at the moon in the sky and dream about going there one day. I haven’t made it to the moon yet, but I was able to go to college and become an engineer who studied rocket
science and eventually write these studies for children.

With Magnificent Moon, I hope that kids of all ages can learn more about the moon and become inspired, too! They can’t seem to see enough of that bright white orb hanging in the sky, and that is where learning begins.

With Magnificent Moon, you and your child will learn about the moon: the features of the moon, how it causes our ocean tides, where men have walked the surface of the moon, and so much more. With the Internet, your child can watch a lunar eclipse, rockets launched to the moon, lunar landings, and the amazing astronaut walks on the moon.

What can compare to this universe that God has created? From the smallest star in the sky to the full harvest moon, God has made each one and fashioned them with amazing and unique features. Let the children see and learn about His creation from some of his mightiest handiwork. The moon is right there in the sky, within easy reach for study and observation, and it is one of His most interesting creations to children who are just beginning to understand the vastness of the universe.
