Only notes, no lecture or anything to go with it. Very through and covers a great deal.

Amy Kirkwood (TpT Seller)
Thank you for your previous purchase! I just wanted to mention that there are lecture notes available in the powerpoint that goes along with the notes, in case that was something you were interested in.
The powerpoint is simply titled, "Astronomy Unit Powerpoint" and contains 135 slides. There are a great deal of pictures from NASA included in the powerpoint. A preview of 10 out of the 135 powerpoint slides is available for free if you'd like to check out some of the slides. You can find the powerpoint and its preview at the following address.

What a great idea to have worksheets for all of Planet Earth's programs in the one download. I use this DVD constantly in my Geography classes, and now can add worksheets for students to complete whilst watching.

This is the first year my fourth grade students have had to study the planets. This activity was used a formative assessment and kept the students engaged.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Mrs Pfaff (TpT Seller) re: Moon Phase Diagrams
This is a bit confusing because I think you are using black to show how much moon you see, rather than black to show the shadow on the moon? To me, this looks a little backwards because of that. At first, I thought it was actually incorrect. You may want to change this to an outline of the moon instead?
October 28, 2011
Amy Kirkwood (TpT Seller)
I'm so glad you contacted me! I've been meaning to update that file and you reminded me that I needed to get the revised copy uploaded. Please redownload this item and tell me what you think. I've added some new diagrams to the activity too. I hope you like it. Thanks again! [You were right about the moon phase color being reversed. I no longer have that diagram on the worksheets.] :)

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: Solar System Diagram
Love the cover page. It is colorful and attractive. Thanks for following me and for rating one of my freebies as well.

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: Solar System Diagram
I saw your store on the home page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. I left you a rating. Well done! My only suggestion is that you make a cver page so that you have an attractive thumbnail to entice buyers.
I hope you will have time to rate my latest free product listed below.

I recognize your name from reading threads on the seller's forum. Thanks so much for rating my product and commenting. I just added a cover page to this product. Would you check it out and tell me what you think? I downloaded your freebie, commented and added myself as your 108th follower (Wow!). Good luck to you as well!

Christine Long (TpT Seller)
Hi! I purchased several of your earth science listings. I was surprised to find that some of your notes directly follow the textbook I am using. Do you base them on a textbook or just a logical order of information?
October 29, 2010
Amy Kirkwood (TpT Seller)
It's a combination of the two, but the textbook I use as a guide is a Prentice Hall textbook.

Dear Amy,
My name is Jack Dennison. I am the Editor-in-Chief of www.FunnelBrain.com, an educational website. I am writing to you because the quality of the work you have posted to PTP distinguishes you as a talented author. I am looking for teacher-authors to create custom study review materials for FunnelBrain (on a paid basis, of course).
These study materials would take the form of online flashcards, quizzes, and study guides for high school and college level courses, as well as for certain standardized exams such as the GMAT, the SAT or the GRE. We are also interested in lesson plans built around activities that can take place on www.FunnelBrain.com.
If you are interested in a paid writing assignment, please email me at jack@funnelbrain.com, and I will respond with details on the available assignments. In the meantime, please feel free to browse FunnelBrain.com.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Jack Dennison

Arlene, I'm glad you like the storyboard template. I teach Earth Science and have my students write a story about the rock cycle or water cycle from the perspective of a rock or water droplet. They then illustrate what happened in their story. I look forward to hearing how you use it. Raleigh, NC Amy
