Our next unit of study for the Kindergarten through third grade science co-op class is on outer space. We have had several classes already, and we are thoroughly enjoying the activities and fascinating facts we are learning. There are many neat resources for teaching outer space which I wanted to share with you. For our class, we are using the following books.

God's Design for Heaven and Earth: Our Universe, by Debbie and Richard Lawrence
