Tools of Astronomy Poster Project and Gallery Walk
Looking for a project to introduce your Astronomy Unit? Seeking a way to incorporate independent research and student discovery? Ready to engage your students on the tools and technology of space? When I did this project with my students, I had 100% participation the whole time! (No... really!). In this project, your Earth and Space science students will become experts in their chosen tool. After researching and completing a tool brag sheet, students will then transfer their work onto a colorful and creative poster to display to the class. Lastly, students engage in a gallery walk to explore the various tools, missions, telescopes and experiments centered around space exploration that the class researched, pulling out information from each poster. This project is a great way to engage students, allow for creativity and promote classroom community in a structured and positive way! This resource is ready to go with all the essentials-just add the poster board!
