I thought I'd change things up a bit with the format that I use for posting my lesson plans, so they are easier to understand and follow. Remember these are just some ideas and guidelines. Feel free to study a topic a for a day, a week or month!
Today we will be learning a bit about our universe by studying black holes. We are obsessed with the stars and sky. I thought this would be a great lesson to teach since we have been spending so many evenings looking at the sky lately. Pretty much because it's been too unbearably hot to go outside during the day time. One of the perks of living in the desert besides the abundant wild life, is that we have tons of super dark sky, free from light pollution. It gets really dark out here, we experience "advanced darkness." Perfect for stargazing! During this time the kids like to sit and ask me a million questions about stars and how they are made (Teenie), or ponder life and our existence (Sonshine).
