Lesson Topic
Constellations in 3-D
Lesson Outline
It was so nice to see Gwendolyn again after the holidays! We dove straight back into constellations, but now I wanted to emphasize that just like our 2-D photographs don't give a true picture of our 3-D world, our imagined 2-D constellations are really projections of very disparate objects that are, in fact, quite far apart in space. We started our project by cutting out stars of different sizes so they correspond, roughly, to the stars in The Big Dipper (a constellation Gwendolyn is beginning to be very familiar with), and covering them in glitter. We will continue next week, and hopefully begin to construct our 3-D model.

Lesson Comments
Gwendolyn is really very sweet, and tries very hard to parse what I'm trying to communicate to her. But we had fun covering our stars with glitter today! (after she very obediently listened to me drone on about 2-D versus 3-D worlds …)
