Astronomy is possibly the best science for teaching children. Astronomy-themed studying projects can help teach children not only astronomy but many subjects--reading, writing, math, history, geometry, chemistry, art, photography, etc. almost any area of knowledge can be integrated into a children's astronomy class or workshop. Children are not only studying the provocative field of astronomy that has engaged children of all ages for centuries--the solar system, the planets, the stars, the nebula, the comets, the galaxies, the spaceships and space marvels, the telescopes--but astronomy can be the coordinating art and science.
There are many children's astronomy websites online and also books that include experimental projects, data study projects, telescope projects (including "make your own telescope"). Astronomy can also teach children how to think and analyze. Writing can be taught via keeping astronomy journals.
