All our activities are "crash
dummy tested" before publication. They have been extensively tested
in classrooms before being cleared for publication. You won't feel
like a crash dummy when you try them yourself.

Our designs are accurate and
reliable, being individualised to every latitude and longitude
on Earth if appropriate. You will have the satisfaction of knowing
that if you build an Astronomy In Your Hands design it is
scientifically correct and adjusted for your location.
|
|
All activity sheets and designs are suitable for black and white
printing and photocopying so you can produce resources for a class or group
at next to no cost.
Our documents are supplied in
Adobe Acrobat
format for
optimal print quality.

We have used the New Zealand
school curriculum as a guide (see our NZ Curriculum Links).
Among the best in the world, the
New Zealand
curriculum focusses on developing thinking and problem
solving right from new entrant (5 years old) to senior high
school (18 years old). Our activities are not only fun, they are
based on sound educational principles. They get students doing
practical science and foster scientific thinking.

We have an email-based
support
centre for those of you who have trouble with our activities.
|
|
We continually strive to
improve the quality of our electronic publications, publishing
updated versions as we find ways to make them better. Our aim is
to provide the best hands-on astronomy activities available in
print or on the web.
