REAL Science Odyssey – Astronomy (Pandia Press)

REAL Science Odyssey Astronomy from Pandia Press is a year-long, secular science course that introduces kids to stars, planets, the Moon, and space observation through narrative lessons and at-home labs. Written by scientists and educators with homeschoolers in mind, the program uses clear readings, notebooking pages, and hands-on experiments that can be done with common materials or an inexpensive telescope. Concepts build from basic sky-watching to more advanced ideas like light, gravity, and the scale of the solar system. Families use RSO Astronomy as a full spine for roughly grades 3–6, appreciating its balance of rigor, accessibility, and genuine curiosity about the night sky.
