myfatherslily Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 We're learning about stars this week in astronomy and I'd like us to learn some constellations. Myself included! I thought that the only ones I knew were the dippers, but it turns out they are asterisms, not constellations, so I actually know none of them:tongue_smilie: I remembered this just-for-fun American Girl game http://www.americangirl.com/fun/games/goty/Lanie/starrynight/starrynight.php but wondered if there are any more, um, educational games online? For either my DD6 or myself:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbrandonsmom Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'm interested too, as well as any good books. Ds just realized last week the stars made a pattern, but our library doesn't have good books on the subject for his level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfatherslily Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 After I posted, I finally had the sense to google "constellation game" :) I found some games but none that I really like so far. Cause I'm still REALLY clueless and they're all too hard for me;) Honestly, I don't know why I get so confused by stars!! This looks like a neat idea http://www.science-teachers.com/constellation_flashcards.htm Perhaps is would help to recognize the constellations by themselves before trying to pick them out of a thousand other stars?
