Conclusion

In conclusion, this unit will be exciting for my classroom, as it will allow students to explore their solar system, their galaxy and their universe during the school year, in an engaging way.  The STEM model and maker space being used in our classroom with the unit will allow students to apply the concepts of design and engineering in the classroom as well.  This unit will be very special, to teach and learn that we are made of star stuff and that it is a part of who we are.173 The goal is that this will allow students to feel more connected to what is around them, as well as their past, present and future.  My students are all stars themselves and they make up the beauty of the universe and they will shape our future.
