Dancing With the Stars (Constellation Movement)
by Kirstin Udall
This ADI lesson plan engages students in the process of inquiry and argumentation, helping them develop a deeper understanding of the movement of constellations in the sky through hands-on investigation of star trails. Students will discover why we can see some constellations continuously and others seasonally through collaborative learning.
