Short description: In this lesson, students will participate in an activity that will test their knowledge of astronomy related vocabulary. Then, students will research their vocabulary, ensuring that they are able to match a definition to each word.
Students research astronomy terms to find one vocabulary word for each letter of the alphabet. They define terms and draw a related picture.
Before beginning this project, you might want to send home a letter to the parents of your students. Below are two sample letters to parents.
