Stars & Constellations Coordinate Plane Graphing Pictures Activity Ordered Pairs

Graphing the Constellations: This activity integrates Math and Science by teaching students about coordinate graphing as well as the constellations! The constellations are precisely positioned so that their positions match that of their actual positions in the sky! This can even be used as a constellation star map!

UPDATE (10/12/16): I have tweaked many of the pictures to make it easier for students to connect the dots for each constellation. Please re-download to receive this update.
