Planisphere Lab Activity: A Star Wheel for Constellation Exploration
Inexpensive and ingenious! Planispheres are a unique tool for learning astronomy: a make-it-yourself star map, adjustable for any time of night in any month of the year.

It's a low-tech way for Ss to learn the location (and thus give meaning to key vocabulary terms) of the horizon, zenith, meridian, ecliptic and celestial equator on the celestial sphere. This lab includes two types of planispheres: one for stan

Students love the story of the Nutcracker. Included in this document is a re-telling of the story and a fun project! Students color and cut out a nutcracker doll, then glue him to an empty paper towel roll for a 3D nutcracker of their very own. This can easily be done in a 20 to 30-minute time period in school, but it is fun to give this as a take-home project so that students can use additional materials (sequins, beads, feathers, etc.) and bring back for a colorful display at school!
