IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR, AWAY

In a galaxy far, far, away, Just looking at pictures of the stars and planets in the galaxy gives you a wonderous feeling. I put together a Power Point presentation of the galaxy, and the kids were in awe of the beauty of outer space. The Hubble website at thttp://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/galaxy/ will give you many pictures to choose from for a Power Point presentation. After viewing the presentation, the students made an outer space picture of their own. You can find printable planet shapes at  http://www.coloringcastle.com/pdfs/space/planets02.pdf . Find the directions for this project, “Outer Space,” look in the 4th Grade Projects Gallery  in the sidebar.
