Stars & Constellations Coordinate Plane Graphing Pictures Activity Ordered Pairs
Graphing the Constellations: This activity integrates Math and Science by teaching students about coordinate graphing as well as the constellations! The constellations are precisely positioned so that their positions match that of their actual positions in the sky! This can even be used as a constellation star map! Are your students asking for more constellations to graph?Get the Expansion Pack HereMAJOR UPDATE (2/27/26): Many new things have been added, including: – Table with information ab

Graphing Constellations on a Coordinate Plane - ACTIVITY for students!
This is a math and science crossover activity in which students must plot ordered pairs and connect them to form constellations! It includes ordered pairs and directions to create 9 constellations that can be observed from the Northern Hemisphere. Constellations include: Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Aquila, Pegasus, Bootes, Hercules, Cassiopeia, Auriga, and Draco. Although the locations aren't perfect, I did study many start charts in order to place them as positionally accurate as possible! :) T

Make Your Own Constellation Project Science Constellations Science Project
EDITABLE! NO PREP! Students connect with the stars by creating their own constellation as they graph their name, then create their own myth to tell its story. Students will have fun creating their own story to explain their stars just they have learned about the original constellations, a great way to take a "break from the book" and create a personal connection to the text! The project is interdisciplinary/cross-curricular: Science - Connect with knowledge of the stars and constellations. Soci
