Night Sky Journal

This worksheet transforms stargazing into an educational reflection activity. Students record observations about constellations, weather conditions, and visible stars during a nighttime skywatch or simulated exercise. They describe shapes, identify bright stars, and reflect on emotional and cultural connections to constellations. The journal format encourages observation, personal engagement, and written expression. It integrates science with creativity and mindfulness, helping learners appreciate astronomy as both a scientific and human experience.
