Image One , Image Two , and Image Three . Explain that constellations are groups of stars that can be seen in the night sky.
People draw imaginary lines between the stars to make pictures of animals, people or things.
Each picture is a constellation. Show the children pictures or drawings of constellations. You can continue by saying that there are many constellations in the sky, but you can't see all of them at once. Which constellations you will see depends on the time of year, time of night and where you are on the Earth. The students can complete the Make Your Own Constellation worksheet.
