Activity | Grades K-5 | This hands-on activity provides an introductory, budget-friendly way for elementary students to explore light, the solar system, and the Sun by constructing a simple starry sky projector out of a cardboard box. Educators can integrate this project into Earth’s place in the universe science units to visually simulate viewing stars and demonstrate how the Sun acts as a primary light source.
Students follow simple construction steps to build the projector, offering an interactive approach to space science concepts.
