Know where to find constellations.
Know what constellations are.

","materials","

For each group, prepare:

Shoe box, tissue box or cereal box
3x5” index cards
Small flashlights
Optional: book or website that contains drawings of constellations, construction paper, glue, markers, crayons, and colored pencils.

For the class, prepare:

Scissors
Tape (duct or masking)
Pushpins

","preparation","

Make sure to prep the constellation box, have an example prepared prior to class. Be ready to able to answer all of students questions.

","worksheets","multimedia","steps","

To begin this activity, break the students into small groups. Each group gets one box, which must be completely enclosed. If using a shoebox, they should tape the lid on tightly. If using a tissue box, they should cut a piece of paperboard and tape it over the opening. Then students should cut a hole- just big enough to fit the flashlight in the center of one of small ends of the box.
Choose a constellation. Ask each group to choose one constellation to display with their constellation box. Guide each group to choose a different constellation so you have a variety to display.
Have groups sketch their constellation on an index card, and then use a pushpin to poke the stars of the constellation in the card. Now, flip the card over, so students are looking at the mirror image of the constellation.
Use the template to poke holes in the constellation box. Have students tape the card over the other small end of the box and use a pushpin to poke the stars of the mirror image of the constellation in the box. Otherwise, it will project backward! Groups can now remove the card. Students who finish early can decorate their constellation box possibly with images of what their constellation means.
Display constellations. Hand out flashlights to each group. One student in each group should insert the flashlight into the hole at the end of the box. Then turn off the lights in the room and tell the students to aim their constellation at the ceiling or wall. They can experiment with holding the box at different distances. Have each group shine its constellation one at a time.
To end this activity, discuss with students what they learned from

","examples","versions","variations","

As an extension you can have students share what they learned through their research about their constellation. They can share what the constellation represents and what the myth is behind it.
