Astronomers Math, Reading, Writing, Science PBL/ Distance Learning
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
