Abstract

Astronomy has become popular and interesting topic since ancient times of the Earth. People tried to discover what they see in sky and then, they had found explanations. Thanks to technological developments, today, it is easier to discover beyond the Earth. In recent years, science education integrates different fields such as mathematics, engineering and art… into K-12 education. Therefore, K-12 astronomy education has also become more interdisciplinary course. Educators integrates different fields into their lessons in many different ways. This article reviewed “Interdisciplinary Astronomy Teaching” in terms of five disciplines which are art, music, mathematics, technology and engineering.
