Astronomy in sixth grade combines imagination and science. In this content-rich block, we will discover concepts that have as much relevance today as they did 10,000 years ago.
We will hear, for example, about the moon’s phases and how they affect the tides.
We will hear about planets and stars and the sun’s course through the year.
We will hear, in addition, about a number of mysteries related to these phenomena like how the precession of the equinoxes seems to shape human culture or how the planets seem to move in a kind of musical geometry.
For, no scientific truth, no matter how sensory, is without an artistic underpinning.
