Star Maps and More

With Nature's Classroom around the corner, 5th grade students have been learning about stars and how to use a star map to locate stars in the night sky.  This week students in 5Me experienced the StarLab (5Mc will do this next Friday) as a sneak preview to what they will observe in the very dark night sky of Connecticut.

Here's an example of a star map.  The students received a slightly different version at school.  Ask you child about the proper way to hold a star map!
