I would begin the lesson by asking the children if they have ever seen the stars in the sky. I would ask some of the children to try and explain what stars are. I would then start with a KWL to see what they know about stars relating it back to content we’ve learned about light.
I would use this activity for a maths lesson and begin by discussion the shapes of stars. After this I would pair the students together and each pair would be given a set of star-shaped dot patterns, and they’d have to connect the dots to form their own constellations. Once the constellations are drawn, each pair would get to name their creation and share the reason behind their design with the class.
