As a part of Science my students learn about the solar system, including the moon and all of it’s phases. However, only 2 out of a class of 19 have ever used a telescope. Most students in our Elementary have never used a telescope and would not know how to use one.
There are so many things that kids can explore once they get excited about Science, the possibilities are endless! It is very important that students are able to directly observer the night sky and to kindle curiosity about Science. Not only will a telescope help students to better understand what they are learning, but it will also provide them with the knowledge of how to use telescopes which will benefit their future.
