Middle School Science Lessons

In English and History classes, the students learned about Greek Mythology and Life in Ancient Greece. We added an Astronomy Unit that included the constellations and incorporated the Greek Myths associated with them. Another nice way to tie Science and English together is to have the students create original poetry about the constellations.

Students can showcase their poetry in several different ways.

• As Google slides set to music
• Create artwork to accompany their poetry
• Poetry collection/scrapbook
• Poetry readings either within the class or visiting the students in other grades
• Act out their poetry as scenes
