Stars App-titude!

What a neat way to study constellations while the sun is shining! Mrs. Boeren's Liberty High School students were able to discover that for themselves! Using the Stars iPod app on iPod Touches, they drew various constellations, labeling them by name and adding major stars in each constellation. It was so easy to see which constellations are in the northern or southern hemispheres.

This site offers visual aids that will help students make sense of hard to grasp concepts. The site offers directions on how to download the Flash animations, so you can use then even if they network goes down. It is worth taking a look!
