Take a few moments to look up at the glorious night sky and appreciate the majestic beauty of Gods vast universe. Astronomy is one of the most fascinating and awe-inspiring of all of the sciences, but it can be hard to find a junior high-level curriculum for it that is easy-to-use, factual, and presented from a biblical worldview. Our Introduction to Astronomy course meets all of those requirements, though, and will captivate any stargazer. Using the comprehensive, photo-filled The Stargazers Guide to the Night Sky as its base, students will soon find that the stars are just a glance away! This course will teach students the basics for how to see the stars (with or without binoculars or telescope), the times to see specific galaxies and celestial objects, and most importantly, how to determine what they are looking at during certain times of the year.

Astronomy is taught in schools worldwide, but few schoolteachers have any background in astronomy or astronomy teaching, and available resources may be insufficient or non-existent. This volume highlights the many places for astronomy in the curriculum; relevant education research and 'best practice'; strategies for pre-service and in-service teacher education; the use of the Internet and other technologies; and the role that planetariums, observatories, science centres, and organisations of professional and amateur astronomers can play. The special needs of developing countries, and other under-resourced areas are also highlighted. The book concludes by addressing how the teaching and learning of astronomy can be improved worldwide. This valuable overview is based on papers and posters presented by experts at a Special Session of the International Astronomical Union.
