Astronomy is such a big topic! Let’s narrow down your project’s
astronomy topic.All of your terms must be related to one of these Astronomy topics: Solar System, Universe, Science Fiction Books about Astronomy, Space Vehicles, Galaxy, Putting Students Into Space (i.e. microbiology), Space Movies About Astronomy, Book Titles That Deal With Astronomy, Other.
Once you have narrowed down your astronomy alphabet topic, begin to record your alphabet word findings. You may download the worksheet provided below or create your own list using some type of word processing program. Your list should include: one letter for each letter of the alphabet, one related word/term, a definition / explanation, a possible picture, and (if desired) a web link to more information about each term.
