This short week we continued working with the “Solar System” unit. The children were able to learn about the sun and the constellations. They learned that the sun is the center of the universe, and the sun gives us light and warmth, We also showed them that constellations are not galaxies but a group of stars that form figures. To form a constellation you need at least a group of twelve stars that can be observed from north to south, east and west. Certainly, when observing the sky, the children could observe up to three thousand stars. While observing them through a telescope  they could observe more than 600,000 stars. Thus, the children made projects sticking stars of colors that they choose (yellow, green or gray) on a black sheet of paper. Once sticking their twelve stars they joined them with colored chalks of their preference forming a constellation.
