Heather Jacobson asked:

If you ask a lot of kids if they enjoy science a good portion of them will make a face or tell you that it is not their favorite subject. Despite the disinterest in science for a lot of children, we can and should foster a love of astronomy in children. In fact, it is often easier to introduce children and foster this interest than one might think! Once you get kids started, they often cannot get enough of astronomy! When you work with kids on this subject you will find that you can almost see their minds expanding.

If you tell your students that you are going to teach them about astronomy you may hear a few groans of protest. Before you allow this to bring you down, ask them if they know what astronomy means. Let them know that this is not just about science, but about the planets, starts, and space in general. You may be surprised at how excited kids become, as most consider space to be very "cool".

Introducing Astronomy

You'll want to start out teaching children about the planets. You can teach them the names, show them what they look, and where they are in relation to one another as well as in relation to the earth. If you want to get them really involved, allow them to create a model of the solar system. Many kids enjoy hands on projects and this is one way that you can allow all of your students to get up close and personal with astronomy.

Students will enjoy learning about the solar system but they will likely also enjoy learning about the universe. You can teach them about the Milky Way and then you can extend these lessons out to learn more about the galaxies and nebulae and black holes. There is a lot of really interesting information that will excite children and get them thinking about astronomy a lot more than they currently do.

Luckily, there are a lot of great books and films available that can help you teach your students about astronomy. Many of them teach about the planets, stars, the sun, and even the history of astronomy. There are truly unlimited resources that will help you foster a love of astronomy in students of all ages. You can complete a unit on astronomy at a local astronomy center where you can get up close and personal with a lot of great information and resources!

Children are naturally curious, inquisitive, and adventuresome.  We should foster this whenever we can.  One way to do so and foster a love and greater understanding of the world around us is to take them on outdoor adventures.  Of course, we can nurture their zeal by providing them with tools of observation.  Thus, the choice of Binoculars for Kids is a gift that will serve our children well.  So, what are the options?

 

For a youngster, kindergarten through third grade, you might consider the brightly (and fun colored) Audubon 7 x 18 Mini Binocular For Kids.  It is small enough to fit smaller hands and light enough to be easily held steady.  It has a large field of view, an important aspect for someone just learning to use binoculars.  It allows for close up and observation.  It really is an affordable and very versatile first Binoculars For Kids.

 

Third graders to Middle schoolers can choose from the Vortex 8 x32 Lightning or the Audubon 8 x 42 Vector Binocular For Kids.  The Vortex Lightning is a mid sized wonder.  It is light weight, only 17.4 ounces.  Its field of view is substantial at 394 ft at 1000 yards. It is also water and fog proof.  It can easily be pack in a backpack or is great for one traveling by bicycle.  On the other hand, the Audubon 8 x 42 Vector is a full sized binocular, yet still light enough to be easily handled and steadied.  It too is water and fog proof.  The Audubon 8 x 42 Vector Binocular For Kids has another advantage in that it allows for observation as close as six feet.

 

High School age youth can take advantage of the Stokes 8 x 42 Talon.  The name Stokes has long been connected with birding and excellence in field observation.  The Stokes are considered experts in the birding community and have designed a complete series of binoculars and spotting scopes.  The Talon is the introductory Binocular For Kids in this regard.  It is rugged, full sized, water and fog proof.  It has multi-coated, phase corrected lenses providing one with crisp, clean, clear images.  It has a whopping 420 foot field of view, one of the best in the industry.  Also, one can focus on objects as close as 4.5 feet away.  The Talon can help you just as easily view a bluebird across the field as a swallowtail butterfly on the flower right next to you.

 

May you and your children or grandchildren enjoy the great outdoors.
