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
