STAR AND CONSTELLATIONS UNIT

FOR THE STARS OF HEAVEN AND THEIR CONSTELLATIONS 

Some of the items we have for our star unit

BOOKS

Great books on stars and constellations 

WORKSHEETS



We didn't do much with worksheets instead we made copied constellations on black construction paper and then she made her own constellation.  She came up with Cheetah Face when happy. 
MATH

ARTS & CRAFT



Pulled out the play-doh for Kanani to make stars with using star shaped cookie cutters.  Then asked her to arrange them by size by largest to smallest.



Dartanian enjoyed poking the play-doh with one of the tools they have.

ACTIVITIES/GAMES



I placed some pom poms in our star silicone mold and gave them some prongs to pick up the pom poms.  Dartanian decided to just dump them out, it was easier than using the prongs.  
SCIENCE 

We have two different flash light that show the constellations in the dark.  Got them both at our local thrift stores for a great deal.  It was fun sitting in the dark and observing all the different constellations.

SNACK

Kanani and me baked a cake and then decorated it with some star sprinkles to go with our theme this week.

SPANISH 

Estrellas y constelaciones (starts and constellations)

MEMORY VERSUS 

For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not flash forth their light; the sun will be dark when it rises and the moon will not shed its light.

~Isaiah 13: 10

POEM

GOD'S STARS ON STAGE
     By: Bill Hoeneveld 

God stages a show every night, 

For us to stare at with delight,

Light years travelled to reach the Earth, 

These stars created before our birth.

Galactic travellers dot the sky, 

We don't know the reason why. 

What's their purpose, we don't know, 

Just sit back and enjoy the show.

CLASSICAL MUSIC 

Applebaum, Mark Martian Anthropology (Innova 617)

We have enjoyed learning all about stars and learning all the different types of constellations.  God is such a great artist.

GOD BLESS!
