Classify star patterns
Fourth graders explore star patterns and constellations in this Earth and Space Science worksheet, classifying groupings of stars by their shapes and cultural names. Teachers can use it during an astronomy unit to help students connect scientific observation to historical stargazing traditions. The skill builds foundational knowledge of the night sky that supports later study of stellar distances and the universe.
