Updates!

In astronomy class, we have been discussing constellations and stars. We have taken a "tour" around the winter sky and discovere the stories behind many constellations as well as how to find them in the night sky. We have learned how to navigate using the North Star as well. Now, we are discussing stars--how they are made, the different types of stars, how star color relates to star temperature, etc. Students will soon be completing a project where they create their own constellations, create a story to tell how the constellation came about, and tell the properties of the stars in their constellations. I'm excited to see what the students create!
