Constellations for Kids helps children learn tools to find the same patterns in the night sky (NGSS 1-ESS1-1, ESS1.A) and connects STEM and social studies through the stories ancient people imagined in the constellations. It inspires observing, imagining, and wondering about the universe we live in." --Danielle Harlow, Professor of Science Education, UC Santa Barbara
