For Spacious Skies Activity Guide. An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Sky.
Ward, C. Whitney; Borden, Jack
Despite the fact that the sky is the most dominant feature of our surroundings, it plays the role of an unseen background for may objects. It is the intent of this guide to bring about an awareness of the sky to young people. Topics for activities include: (1) "Sky Awareness"; (2) "Compass"; (3) "Hand Lens"; (4) "Prism"; (5) "Binoculars"; (6) "Thermometer"; (7) "Stars"; and (8) "Music Lesson." Recommended readings, an observation sheet, and a response form are also included. Appendices include songs, recordings, the Beaufort wind scale, a wind-barometric table, humidity table, conversions, and a windchill table. Each section includes objectives, materials, vocabulary, an introduction, and several activities. (CW)
