Constellations

Our space unit is almost coming to a close!  Today we looked at constellations and discussed how they might be named and how they help people (sail, know where they are-navigation, etc.).  I then passed out star stickers and a black piece of paper.  The 2nd Graders randomly had to place the 10 stars on the paper and then form a constellation with the stars! (obviously stars are not really star shaped, but these star stickers were handy because they were colorful just like stars).  They needed to be able to tell me what they saw in the stars!  We had many different constellations- animals, sports equipment, food, etc.!
