Student learning
The students' learned a lot of content about constellations. But before we could get into what
constellations are, we defined what stars are. From there we explained how constellations are
like a giant game of connect the dots. e compared the real constellations and how they look in
the sky to how they are drawn out in our classroom. Then the students guessed how many
constellations are in the sky and wrote it on a post it note and put their guess on a poster and we
saw who was the closest to !!. The students also learned that different constellations look
brighter at different times of the year. "o we look through # months and which constellations are
brightest during that month. e engaged students by seeing if their birthday is in that month and
we described a few details and facts about each constellations $%rion, &ancer, 'eo, (irgo, 'ittle
)ipper, *+uarius, *ndromeda,. The students also made their own constellations out of
toothpicks and marshmallows. The students were constantly engaged and learning new material.
