A basic understanding of astronomy equips students to understand time-keeping, calendars, and navigation. The best way to study astronomy is by going outside and taking the time to look up. The goal of this Field Guide is to equip students to do just that. Through weekly assignments from September through May, students will learn about the motions of the sun, moon, stars, and planets.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-43625 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intoxicatedonlife.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Field-Guide-Stylized-1024x680.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intoxicatedonlife.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Field-Guide-Stylized-1024x680.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.intoxicatedonlife.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Field-Guide-Stylized-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.intoxicatedonlife.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Field-Guide-Stylized-768x510.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.intoxicatedonlife.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Field-Guide-Stylized-1536x1020.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intoxicatedonlife.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Field-Guide-Stylized-2048x1360.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.intoxicatedonlife.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Field-Guide-Stylized-100x66.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.intoxicatedonlife.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Field-Guide-Stylized-353x235.jpeg 353w, https:\/\/www.intoxicatedonlife.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Field-Guide-Stylized-1080x717.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/www.intoxicatedonlife.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Field-Guide-Stylized-655x435.jpeg 655w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Important things for parents to keep in mind:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>This workbook is designed for ages 10 and up<\/strong>, but younger students may need assistance locating the sky objects.<\/li>\n<li>Most of these activities are quick and easy.
