Find the Constellations - Southern Hemisphere?

[NicoleJ]

Hi! In the Preparing program, there is a book called Find the Constellations, and the description in the catalog says that it is for the northern hemisphere. Does anyone have a suggestion for a book about constellations in the SOUTHERN hemisphere? We are in Australia. Thanks! Nicole

Nicole,

I would lean toward doing the plans with Find the Constellations as written to practice the needed skills in notebooking, answering questions, narrating, and completing the science experiment sheet each week. However, you could add some readings about constellations in the Southern Hemisphere too using another book by H.A. Rey called The Stars. It is a more difficult book, but still very readable. It does cover the Southern Hemisphere as well as the Northern Hemisphere and includes Rey's sketches of the night sky.

Blessings,
Carrie
