If you have never heard me mention about how much my older kids love astronomy, then let me tell you today – my kids love astronomy! My older got a telescope for Christmas three years ago, which really opened the door to us all learning to love astronomy.

There is something so calming and peaceful about looking up in the night sky. It reminds us that even amidst all the hustle and bustle of the world we live in every day, the beauty that unfolds every night is always there waiting for us. To us, the happenings in the sky move so slowly, which is why I find these things to be so calming and relaxing.

Sitting out on our deck, trying to view the things we learn through her telescope has brought us some of our most amazing family times as well. The conversation is always plentiful, and generally we have a snack, talk, laugh, and spend an hour or more just observing.

I am BEYOND excited to have discovered this new program that will be perfect for my astronomy-loving kids and can’t wait for them to start (the three older ones).

It’s called Experience Astronomy, and it is an experience created by Luke and Trisha Gilkerson of Intoxicated on Life.

 

When our kids were young, it was easy to teach them their alphabet and how to count. As the years pass, certain subjects become more difficult to teach. It can be easy to be intimidated by certain subjects—like the sciences.

This year, I’m excited to introduce you to an online course that will help solve your problems: Experience Astronomy.

Why Experience Astronomy?

Since the 7th century, astronomy was considered one of the seven classical liberal arts of education. Experience Astronomy allows students to join this long-standing tradition and really grasp the God-created order of the heavens.

• You, the parent, don’t have to be the expert: The instructor, Luke Gilkerson, will do all the teaching for you (via video).
• It’s integrative: The course includes integration with history, literature, and even the Bible.
• No special equipment needed: Your student will study the stars the way the ancients did—with their own two eyes.
• It’s interactive: Your student will get outside on a weekly basis to take notes or draw specific observations in the sky.
• From the comfort of home: All the required activities can be done online or in your own backyard.
• Christian emphasis: The subject of astronomy is studied through a Christian worldview.
