Students create posters of the constellations using glow-in-the-dark glue and black paper. They hang their posters around the room starting with Aries and moving through all the signs. Students create a jingle or acronym to help them...

Students construct three-dimensional solar system mobiles.

Students research the constellations and discuss their findings. Then they construct their own maps of the galaxy using paper, black paint, aluminum foil, etc. They make a 3-D map of their chosen constellation.

Students read stories about constellations. They create constellations by filling in the letters of their names on a test bubble sheet and tracing the design onto white paper. They make up stories about their name constellations.

Students examine constellations. In this astronomy lesson, students study various constellations and identify five major constellations. They will construct a model of one of the constellations.

Students make origami birds after studying about Asian legends and culture. In this Asian legends lesson plan, students also learn about Asian art, constellations, and the Milky Way Galaxy.

Third graders investigate space by researching their zodiac signs.  In this space science instructional activity, 3rd graders discuss the different zodiac symbols, their star representation and where the stars are located in the...

Pupils, through small group discussion, identify and share a rationale for shapes and patterns in the construction of a mobile that represents the solar system that makes them think of the creation of our solar system.

Students conduct a brief astrophysics lab matching the EUVE spectra of various kinds of "mystery" stars with the spectra of known stars taken at Extreme Ultraviolet and optical wavelengths to determine their type.

Fifth graders examine the fossil footprints of two and four legged dinosaurs. Using this information, they try to determine how the dinosaurs lived their lives. They use their own walking pattern to compare it to the dinosaurs and...

Students, who are teachers, discover how to make a quadrant in their classrooms. They use the given pattern to make the tool which they would have their students research.

Students read an article about new voter registration trends throughout the country. In groups, they identify new patterns when it comes to registering to vote and develop their own solutions to get more people registered. They present...

In this modeling celestial motion worksheet, learners fill in the blank about the motion of celestial bodies: planets and stars. Students complete the blanks with information about the scientists and philosophers responsible for early...

Students clap four-beat rhythm patterns containing whole, half, dotted half, quarter, and eighth notes and rests in a given tempo. They clap the tempo as their teacher holds up flash cards.

Students examine works of stained glass in one dimensional art form then adapt it a three dimensional transparent mobile. They create their mobile using patterns of shapes and simple images from computer line art, printed art books or...

Students use "Swiss Balls" to help them combine their movements into repeatable patterns.

Fourth graders participate in a simulation activity that culminates their study of the Underground Railroad. They climb on obstacles while bells rings and older students act as conductors. They work in a darkened area with only one light...

Students document sections of their life through pictures, stories, and video to create an English "memory book". They use photographs, video and edited video which includes their history, includes calculated growth, and genetic...

Pupils document their unique characteristics through photography. In this self-discovery lesson, students take photographs of themselves and others. As a class, they discuss similarities and differences, and sort, graph, and find...

Learners draw constellations. In this astronomy lesson, students create constellations from star groupings projected on a chalk board. Learners connect the "stars" to create a pattern on the board. Student can create new groupings of...

Learners explore the "New World". They collect geographic information related to the ocean, latitude and stars, longitude and time, wind patterns, and the weather. They analyze the geographic data and make decisions to plot their...

Learners are introduced to both celestial coordinates and to the first rung on the distance determination ladder. They convert spherical coordinates to Cartesian coordinates to construct a three dimensional model of a constellation...

In this language arts learning exercise, students read 10 sentences and correct the words which may or may not need a silent E. Example: She set fir to the fire tree. (She set fire to the fir tree.)

Who was Horemheb and why is his tomb so famous? An fascinating resource uses virtual reality tools and even comes equipped with the ability to use a VR headset. Learners view information panels to the side of the location to understand...
