Planetarium in a Classroom
by Shauna Hamman
This is a culminating project for the end of a Space Science unit. Students will each research a unique star, then work in a group to research the constellation of their star. In groups, students will create a model of their constellation, and arrange them in the classroom to create a “planetarium”. They will then present their models to an invited audience.
