FREE ASTRONOMY VIDEO SCIENCE LESSON 
Astronomy & Astrophysics
  • 300 Astronomy Tour of the Galaxy (One of my favorites!) 

A PERFECT INTRO to Astronomy! Kids will get a front-row seat in a planetarium-style star tour presentation to help them understand galaxies, black holes, and why Pluto was crossed off our planet list.

Astronomers study celestial objects (stars, planets, moon, asteroids, comets, galaxies, etc) that exist outside our planet's atmosphere. Its the one field that combines most science, engineering and technology areas in one fell swoop. Astronomy is also one of the oldest sciences on the planet.

This topic is presented in a non-evolution, non-creation way so all families may participate.The videos give you step-by-step instructions for doing each experiment.

Notebooking /Lapbook & Interactive Notebooking Resources

Lapbook: A lapbook is simply a file folder that contains a variety of "mini books," foldables, and other material that cover detailed information about the lapbook's central topic.

  • Homeschool Share: Astronomy lots of lapbook/notebook pieces
  • Homeschool Share: Space Lapbooks 3 different choices: Planets, Sun Moon and Stars and Misc Space

Notebook: A homeschooling activity where (usually older) homeschoolers catalog what they are learning in writing and pictures and inserting them into binders.

  • Handout for Copywork Galieo
  • Notebooking pages for Biographies from Water on the Floor: 3 pages per astronomer includes space to write what questions you would ask of the scientist/astronomer
  • Homeschool Helper (scroll to the very bottom) for Astronomy Notebooking Pages
  • Space Lapbooking Resources by Jimmie on Squidoo
  • Solar System Printables: Copywork, Word Finds...
  • Seasons: Copy this image on Black Paper with Oil Pastels for a nice chart on the Seasons
  • Variety of Worksheets - these are free printables from TSL books. *please review for your own family. We used crosswords and vocab sheets


Interactive Notebooking is often used in public school settings and is a combination of these two forms of recorded learning. We use the interactive notebooking because my children would rather be experimenting with the materials than recording information. I often use a lapbook piece and require that they record basic information then glue it into their notebook. I use photos and videos as additional learning records.

This is a great site, but what I really like about it, is that it has an interactive star map so you can input your location, and the date and get a map of what you can see up in the sky. With that said, take your map and go outside at night and see what you can find!

Yes, I am one of those moms who LOVES creating lesson plans for homeschool. A Veteran homeschool mom of many. I have home schooled more than a dozen children with every learning style and a variety of learning needs. Tutoring in American History, Science, and Art and Design. These resources are my personal lessons with wisdom gleaned from a variety of sources including classroom teachers, home school co-ops and other active homeschooling moms. Special needs home schooling. My kids have been considered 'lower than grade level' learners. These high school lesson plans  have been packaged in a way that meets the learning needs of my children and those I tutor. Please feel free to use them in your home and home school co-op. I ask that you respect my time and energy and do not resell any of the lessons in part of whole.
