A galaxy is a huge group of stars, planets, gas, dust, comets, asteroids, and other objects in space. Our Sun and Earth are part of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way is so huge that we cannot travel outside it to see what it looks like. Studying other galaxies and how stars are arranged in the Milky Way gives astronomers an idea of what it looks like. Telescopes are instruments used to study galaxies and other objects in space. Scientists think the Milky Way Galaxy is shaped like a pinwheel with a bulge of stars in the center and arms made of stars that reach out in a spiral. The Milky Way…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
A galaxy is a huge group of stars, planets, gas, dust, comets, asteroids, and other objects in space. Our Sun and Earth are part of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way is so huge that we cannot travel outside it to see what it looks like. Studying other galaxies and how stars are arranged in the Milky Way gives astronomers an idea of what it looks like. Telescopes are instruments used to study galaxies and other objects in space. Scientists think the Milky Way Galaxy is shaped like a pinwheel with a bulge of stars in the center and arms made of stars that reach out in a spiral. The Milky Way is called a spiral galaxy, and we can see many spiral galaxies in the universe. Another type of galaxy is the elliptical galaxy that is made of tightly paced stars and has no arms. There are also irregular galaxies that can be any shape. There are trillions of beautiful galaxies in space. Pronunciation guide included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5, Word count 307, Lexile measure 540L.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Rebecca Woodbury received her Ph.D. in biophysical chemistry from the University of New Mexico in 1992. She was awarded a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico, followed by a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of California, Berkeley.While home schooling her three children, Dr. Woodbury was unable to find a curriculum that provided a solid foundation in science. She left academia, and using her scientific background coupled with her love of learning, she developed a series of science books for kids.The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum provides students with a solid foundation in science and gives them the tools to evaluate scientific data on their own. "We should not rely on the 'experts' but instead learn how to critically evaluate every scientific claim," states Dr. Woodbury."In these uncertain times with so many social, scientific, and economic problems, it is not enough to teach our kids what to learn. We must also teach them how to learn, and we must encourage our kids to learn from others. Part of learning from others is to know how to engage in productive debate."The Real Science-4-Kids engaging, kid-friendly curriculum provides a solid science education in chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. This curriculum is used in all 50 states in the US and many other countries. Dr. Woodbury and her publishing team continue to develop and test new products for both home school and public school students.
