Constellation Posters










The kids had a fun time creating constellation posters. Each group got to choose a constellation and research it to find the shape, the story (myth) behind it, when it can be seen (some can be seen all year long - others can only be seen during certain times/seasons), and whether or not there are any notable stars or groups of stars in it. They also got to use glow-in-the-dark star foamies and chalk to create their constellation.

Here are the constellations the groups chose:
Mitchell & Dylan S. - Scorpius (Scorpion)
Korbyn & Monte - Scorpius (Scorpion)
Kiana, Kaysha & Chayla - Cygnus (Swan)
Carter & Tanner - Orion (Hunter)
Dylan T. & Eli - Orion (Hunter)
Mia, Elle & Elena - Virgo (Maiden)
Payton & Devon - Taurus (Bull)
Brooke & Maddie - Pegasus (Winged Horse)
Abby & Hannah - Leo (Lion)
