Discover The Sky At Night With Nancy B's Science Club Moonscope #educationalinsights

I was super excited when we received Nancy B's Science Club Moonscope from Educational Insights. Why? Because I haven't really used a moonscope before and I wanted my 6 year old daughter to learn how to use it with me. :)

The Nancy B's Moonscope and Sky Gazer activity Journal arrived in a nice looking box. I was so excited to try it when we received the box.

The Moonscope needed to be assembled so I had to read the instructions first. The instructions were very easy to understand and I set the Moonscope up in about 5 minutes. It's lightweight and the tripod works well to support the moonscope if it's in a stable and flat surface. It almost toppled over when my 3 year old daughter accidentally hit it so I do suggest anchoring it for added safety.

I familiarized myself with the parts of the moonscope and how to use it. My 6 year old daughter was beside me and I explained to her what the moonscope is and how to use it.
 

I set up the moonscope on our front porch and following the tips on how to use the moonscope, I first tried to focus on the trees in broad daylight. I tried the 2 eyepieces included to see if I can focus them properly. The moonscope is easy to use in broad daylight and I had no problems focusing it. My 6 year old daughter though, wasn't ready to learn how to focus the moonscope yet. The suggested age for the moonscope is children age 8 and up so I had no worries with that. She can however peek through the moonscope and see what I focused on.

It's easy to focus the moonscope in broad daylight but at night, it's a different story. It's harder to focus the moonscope. We're waiting for the full moon next month to see if we can focus on the moon. My daughter is excited to view the moon through the moonscope. :)

The journal has lots of fun and educational activities and I can't wait to help my daughter finish it.

The built-in red light doesn't interfere with the moonscope and it's effective in viewing the journal in the dark.

I do suggest that they provide a container for the eyepieces to minimize the risk of accidentally losing the eyepieces and moon filter and to protect the eyepieces too.
