Astronomy Activities from Lake Afton Public Observatory
The Observatory has developed many classroom activities that can be
used to help teach a unit on astronomy. They include demonstrations,
projects, and individual worksheets. All of them come with an
introduction for students and comments for teachers.
Currently two Activity Books are available. One designed for K - 6 grade
students and the other for 7 - 12.
The Activity Books may be ordered directly from the Observatory.
