Classroom Planetarium

Today was the day we inflated the planetarium and sat under the stars in the middle of the day!  Once sitting in there for awhile and taking it all in, the students tried to identify what constellations they were actually looking at.  The top class gets some sort of prize.  Whatever I can afford. :)

Constellation Projects

Alright people, the end of the year is close so that can only mean one thing!  Constellation projects!  We will be researching constellations, the myths and cultures affiliated with them and then write our own myths about our constellations.  Once complete, we will then build a planetarium and paint the constellations and be able to fit a whole class in the planetarium to view our constellations in the dark.  Below is the paperwork that goes along with the project.
