Astronomy for All Ages: Discovering the Universe through Activities for Children and Adults, 2nd ed.

Author: Philip Harrington & Edward Pascuzzi
Stars: 2
Review by: Saraswati


This was another book I had to read for my class and like the title states its a basic lab manual with more background provided than most lab books.  I did learn that the story of Jack & Jill is really about the moon. and what an Astrolabe was. This edition is copy righted in 2000 so some activities will have to be updated, especially the ones about cameras and film. In general, if you are looking for basic Astronomy activities for a class or group this book is fine, but otherwise you can probably get better on the internet.
