Good morning, how are you? As we begin a new day, I wanted to bring you our Homeschool Resources: Science, Saturn and the and the Cassini Mission. Would you take a look at these Homeschool Resources and let me know if you’ve used them with your children.
Dr. Margulies flips the teaching process in Fascinating Education courses by approaching Science through the “right hemisphere” of the brain. He uses simple, colorful illustrations, supplemented with attached audio files to explain what your child is seeing. The result is an easy way to learn science.
NASA: Solar System Exploration – Cassini– All grades, with parental supervision
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn in July 2004 and, along with the European-built Huygens probe, opened a window into a world never seen before.
When arriving at the website, read the Overview to learn about Saturn and the Cassini mission, lasting over two decades. Make sure to scroll down to see the 10 Ways Cassini Mattered. Next, hover your mouse over the menu in the middle:
- The Journey – Timeline, Spacecraft, Grand Finale
- Mission – The Saturn Tour has photos and videos.
- Science – Learn about Saturn and its largest moon, Titan, and its tiny moon, Enceladus.
- Galleries – Images, Videos, and more
After exploring all that this website has to offer, check out the “Kids” link under the “More” menu at the top for coloring pages and activities.
If you know someone interested in astronomy, particularly Saturn, this website is a down-to-earth resource for an out-of-this-world study.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
