Combine learning the Cartesian Plane with learning the 88 constellations from the International Astronomical Union regardless of where you live.
Each constellation has been carefully mapped across the Cartesian Plane to show how they authentically look when viewed from a star map. In addition to mapping constellation lines, students also shade in the apparent colour of each star (blue, yellowish white and orange red) based on grid references.
This product will require students to plot out grid references across all four quadrants of the cartesian plane. They will also have to plot out some grid references which include decimal numbers e.g. (-3.5, 1.25), (8.25, -7.5) & (-7.5, -1.5) etc.
Includes:
✨88 constellations across 40 worksheets, our largest Cartesian Plane Art resource that we’ve ever created.
✨ All constellations have been ordered from the Northern Celestial Hemisphere to the Southern Celestial Hemisphere, allowing students to learn constellations they see in the night sky from their location regardless of hemisphere.
✨ All stars within the constellations have been named which greatly assists students with locating tricky grid references e.g. (8.25, -5.75) etc
✨ The same symbols used in genuine star charts for each worksheet to help students orient themselves with globular clusters, open clusters, nebulas and galaxies.
✨ When completing the worksheets, students will receive exposure to the Greek letters of the alphabet used in naming of stars e.g. Epsilon (ε) Cygni, Kappa (κ) Ophiuchi and Alpha (α) Centauri
✨ Answers included for all worksheets.
