Any primary school space theme unit of work
Space and/or astronomy lessons
Science week rotations

✔️ 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
