DRILL FIVE WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A

DRILL: FIVE WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CIRCUMPOLAR CONSTELLATION AND A SEASONAL CONSTELLATION?

CIRCUMPOLAR CONSTELLATION • Constellations that never set below the horizon when seen from a particular location on Earth. • They can be seen in the night sky throughout the year • All circumpolar constellations are found near the north and south celestial poles and, due to their proximity to the poles, they never disappear from view.

SEASONAL CONSTELLATION • a constellation that is only above the horizon (thus visible) for part of the year

OBJECTIVE: Students will research and create a 2 D model of a constellation. Agenda: • Finish Star Wheel Lab • Constellations Lab

CONSTELLATION ACTIVITY PART I: Create a Map a constellations in your given group using toothpicks and marshmallows. GROUPS: Winter Constellations Summer Constellations Spring Constellations Fall Constellations Circumpolar Constellations
