This low-prep, cross-curricular project invites students to step into the shoes of an astronomer! They will research a constellation (reading), draw constellations (math), create a legend for their own constellation (writing), and explore types of waves (science). This project allows students to be creative and apply skills in a real-world context. Included are both paper and digital formats (great for distance learning), as well as teacher models, suggestions for differentiation, and extension activities.

This product includes 3 versions of the document for flexible online or offline use! There is a PDF with teacher suggestions, there is a PDF with a printable student packet, and there is a version that can be digitally filled out with Powerpoint or Google Slides. Perfect for an in-school, out-of-school, or distance learning project, with or without internet!

Target skills & content: research, informational text, summarizing, narratives, geometry (points & line segments), elapsed time, constellations, waves
