Outdoor Activity Book

This outdoor activity book is designed for the elementary age student.

We hope that this book will be used by parents, teachers, and astronomy clubs to teach children in fun and inventive ways about the beauty of the natural night sky. The book can be downloaded for free from the link below. It is designed to be used in color, but if that is not possible you are welcome to print it in black and white.

If at anytime you would like to submit an addition to the book please email the IDA. The IDA is always interested in seeing what other groups are doing to teach the public about dark skies and light pollution. Thank you for your support of the IDA.
