Finally, an astronomy lesson for the high schooler! Explorers are able to read star maps for finding objects in the night sky by determining celestial coordinates. In particular, they locate the Pleiades and read about a Navajo legend that is centered on this cluster of stars. They calculate star altitudes and predict the rising, transit, and setting times for specific celestial objects. A link for downloading the reading passage is included in this well-written lesson plan. Five stars for this stellar lesson on stars!
