This is because third-grade students begin to switch from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.”

Astronomy is a complex but an amazing subject. It covers both Physics and Mathematics while pumping up the inquisitiveness of children.

Astronomy also renders an introductory glimpse on the concepts of matter and energy. 

Children, especially those in the first grade, are naturally inquisitive with their surroundings.
