Students will learn how to make their own galaxy jar by following step-by-step instructions as I model how to create a galaxy through a recorded lesson. Prior to creating the jar, I will briefly discuss what a galaxy is as well as what a nebula is, and how the parts of the jar (cotton balls, glitter, and different colors of paint) are representative of these - so that students will learn a bit of science before we craft! Once students complete their jars, they can share it on the classroom page by posting a photo!
