Explore planets, stars, and constellations with this “out of this world” educational activity book for kids ages 5−7

Space is awesome, and we can explore a lot of it from right here on Earth using our eyes, binoculars, and telescopes. In this interactive activity book, kids ages 5−7 get to be astronomers! Former NASA scientist Aurora Lipper leads an exciting journey through space, beginning with a tour of the planets and moons in our solar system. Next, kids visit the constellations and then zoom through the far reaches of the Milky Way galaxy. Along the way, they’ll find amazing facts about the starry skies and get to color and draw, connect dots, find hidden objects, and have fun with word puzzles while improving math and reading skills.
 
Astronomy Activity Book for Kids features:

   • 90+ educational activities: On-page games and cool facts about space allow for fun, independent learning
   • Simple stargazing projects: Learn how to find the Big Dipper, view meteor showers, and more with just the eyes, binoculars, or a small telescope
   • Easy and exciting to read: Beautiful space illustrations and simple explanations written for early readers
Former NASA scientist Aurora Lipper is an astronomer, pilot, and busy mom of four. She has a master's degree in mechanical engineering and has taught at California Polytechnic State University. She runs Supercharged Science and teaches thousands of elementary school kids worldwide through her online classes and in-person science workshops. She is also president of the Central Coast Astronomical Society in California and a member of the Society of Women Engineers. When she's not building robots using items from the recycling bin, laser light shows from food containers, or radios from rain gutters, you'll find her doing live science broadcasts from the cockpit of an airplane.
