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  http://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.
