Does anyone know of any free online lesson plans for astronomy, any good astronomy websites (children from ages 6-13), or any suggestions about teaching astronomy please let me know.
Thanks and God bless

I know this isn't exactly the standard, but have you ever thought of investing in DVD's of that program that was run on Discorvery Channel, recently: "The Universe?"
I believe you can get the entire series, and its pretty comprehensive and informative, I thought. I don't know if I'd go on it by itself, but I think it'd help with the education.

Find your local astronomy club. In both towns we have homeschooled in, the astronomy club met once a month at night with their giant telescopes and those guys will answer any question a kid has, plus give a dissertation, lol.
And, then, of course, check out your library.

Answers in Genesis has some great resources. One book, (not a curriculum, but has great info and pictures) is Taking Back Astronomy by Dr. Jason Lisle. There is also a companion DVD (which is the same presentation as shown in the Planetarium at the Creation Museum), called The Created Cosmos.

There is a great website for astronomy stuff that has a lot of astronomy principles put to music. It is LOTS of fun and also has lessons online. YOu can order a CD with all the songs and stuff or download what you want from the CD.
I am teaching physics to non-majors on the university level (and am trying to get them to let me teach astronomy next year too...) and I love this as a teaching tool.
The website is:

You might want to try ClassicalAstronomy.com. I didn't explore it thoroughly, but the website also has a free e-newsletter in addition to the curriculum that has to be purchased. It also has several features on the site itself, such as what the sky will look like today.
