Planisphere Lab Activity: A Star Wheel for Constellation Exploration
Inexpensive and ingenious! Planispheres are a unique tool for learning astronomy: a make-it-yourself star map, adjustable for any time of night in any month of the year. They are designed to show the position of prominent constellations in the night sky. It's a low-tech way for Ss to learn the location (and thus give meaning to key vocabulary terms) of the horizon, zenith, meridian, ecliptic and celestial equator on the celestial sphere. This lab includes two types of planispheres: one for stan

The Farthest: Voyager In Space Video Viewing Guide Editable

Constellations Lab
I was about to lecture on constellations this year and realized that perhaps the students could teach themselves by using Stellarium-web.org, where they can move and manipulate the sky. I created this worksheet/guide for them to follow! It worked great and they enjoyed it. I had to give them some verbal help, but overall it was much more effective than a lecture. You will need computer access for your students, although you could do it as a demo on a smartboard but that would be less effecti
