Study Strategies

Breaking Down Big Concepts

Tackling Tricky Ideas

Astronomy includes some really big ideas. Break them into smaller pieces! Focus on one concept at a time, like learning about planets before exploring galaxies. Use diagrams, videos, and hands-on activities to make each part easier to understand.

Tip for Success

Make simple flashcards for key terms, or try explaining big ideas to a friend in your own words.

Examples

  • Use a model with balls and string to show how planets orbit the Sun.

  • Draw timelines to understand the life cycle of a star.
