If you're looking for a dynamic, hands‑on way to explore astronomy, this kit has you covered. Designed for curious learners, it combines real observational tools with journaling fun. As your child peers through the telescope and sketches the moon’s craters or tracks lunar phases, they’ll build confidence and develop a deeper understanding of space—plus hone reading, writing, and observational skills along the way.

Additional Information: This set contains products not manufactured by the seller. Please be advised that crates may contain small parts that may not be suitable for children under 3 years. Do not consume crate contents.

What’s Inside:

  • Refractor telescope with magnification levels of approximately 18x and 90x (includes 20 mm and 4 mm all‑glass eyepieces).
  • Glow‑in‑the‑dark‑ring finder scope to locate celestial objects easily.
  • Moon filter for clearer lunar observation.
  • Tripod with built‑in red LED light to preserve night vision while reading the journal and moon map.
  • 22‑page “Sky Gazer’s” Activity Journal filled with astronomy stories, writing prompts, drawing activities, and observational pages.

Recommended Age: Approximately Grades 3–6 (ages ~8–12)

This set is ideal for:

  • Homeschool families or after‑school learners who want a true astronomy unit with tools and journaling
  • Kids who love exploring, drawing, writing their own moon myths, and tracking night‑sky adventures
  • Parents and educators looking for a reusable, hands‑on science kit that sparks curiosity and creativity

What children will learn:

  • The phases of the moon, lunar surface features (craters, seas, mountain ranges), and basic celestial navigation using a telescope.
  • Observational and journaling skills: kids will draw, write myths, record findings, and reflect on what they see
  • Science & engineering concepts such as magnification, light filters, optics, and tools for observing the universe
  • Fine motor skills through setup of the telescope, focusing the lens, and recording observations
  • Encourages independent exploration, self‑direction, and writing/illustration integration with science

Standards alignment:

  • Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):5‑ESS1‑1: Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the Sun and Moon are due to their relative distances from Earth (observation of moon phases)MS‑ESS1‑2: Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system (using telescope to observe celestial bodies)
  • Supports aspects of the Next Generation ELA Standards by integrating reading, writing, drawing, and observational reasoning
