Instructional Ideas

  • For younger individuals, make a class set of flashcards, invite pupils to assist in connecting dots, and quiz each other as a class 
  • Instruct class members to use pencil first when drawing constellations to save on paper if mistakes are made 
  • Allow peers to quiz each other when time permits 

Classroom Considerations

  • An ad pops up at the beginning of the video 
  • The video is the third resource in a series of 18 created to educate learners on space and astronomy 
  • Requires small pieces of paper and writing utensils 
  • This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

  • Provides links to constellation maps in the description section 
  • Instills positive study habits 

Cons

  • The host and cohost speak fast—turn on closed captioning and re-watch as needed
