Constellation Project

Today we begin working on the Constellation Project.  Please make sure you follow the rubric to get a good grade.  The project is DUE 3/19/13 The important thing is to pay attention to my instruction today because we will be going over how to use Microsoft Publisher to make this project look great.
A few links that will help you:

Scribus (a program like Microsoft Publisher)


Source of Star Data

You'll need to make a good choice when you choose which constellation you will research.  Each one has its own unique challenges.  BE SURE TO GATHER ACCURATE DATA.  It would be a good idea to take your time and be sure your numbers are right.

One more useful tool would be a key of all the greek symbols:

Alt Code	Symbol	Description
Alt 224	α	Alpha
Alt 225	ß	Beta
Alt 226	Γ	Gamma
Alt 235	δ	Delta
Alt 238	ε	Epsilon
Alt 233	Θ	Theta
Alt 227	π	Pi
Alt 230	µ	Mu
Alt 228	Σ	Uppercase Sigma
Alt 229	σ	Lowercase sigma
Alt 231	τ	Tau
Alt 232	Φ	Uppercase Phi
Alt 237	φ	Lowercase Phi
Alt 234	Ω	Omega

Now I'm gonna show you a few examples of past projects

The start up for today is "what is the first three stages of the life cycle of all stars?"
