Very soon, millions of kids will be outdoors after nightfall on Halloween.
Don't let your students go Trick or Treating unprepared—a basic
knowledge of the northern autumn sky will make Halloween more fun than
ever. An outstanding variety of seasonally themed activities from NASA
include:
- Draco-Lanterns - transform traditional pumpkin carving into a truly
stellar experience!
- Toothpaste Constellations - Do you have trouble convincing your kids to
brush their teeth? Now you can put all that neglected toothpaste to good
use in this constellation art project.
- What's Your Angle? - Students learn about triangles and quadrilaterals
as they grow familiar with the autumn constellations.
- Hands Up! - One of the most useful tools for navigating the night sky (and
learning the basics of angles and degrees) is right by your side.
- The Crazy Constellations Coloring Book - Students can color original
art by Duane Hilton as they follow along with this week's lessons.
... and more!
