Seamlessly integrate math and science in this lesson. Put your students' knowledge of coordinate systems and ordered pairs to work to graph the relative locations and shapes of some of the major North Polar Constellations. Location of Polaris (the North Star) is also part of the lesson. This is fairly accurate to a star map of the same constellations. All of the points represent stars.
Constellations included: Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, and Draco. Common names of the constellations are also noted.
4 Pages: cover, themed blank grid, coordinate list, and answer key.

Thanks! This was a perfect connection between our science unit and math! The only snag was that my students are used to seeing the x and y labeled on each axis. (That's how our state test is.) Then they know to follow ABC order and find the X coordinate before finding the Y coordinate. They still enjoyed it and so did I.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Grades Taught:
I have been a public school teacher in a highly respected district in the Atlanta metro area for the past 12 years. I have taught very diverse students, usually all together in one group! After teaching fourth grade for ten years, I am now teaching a computer lab special to 3 and 4 year olds, and loving it! I am also the technology coordinator for my public, special needs school. You never know what changes life will bring!
