Telescope and Astronomy projects you can make

Telescope and Astronomy Projects. Fun projects of all types and for all ages.

NEW PROJECT: Make a constellation projector. This is a nice little projector project that is easy to make and doesn’t require any lenses – just a few basic supplies. And it uses 3×5 cards so you can make a lot of constellations. I give you, in the template everything you need including 12 constellations already done.

Make Constellation Cups to project stars and constellations onto a wall. It is an easy and fun project that needs just a few simple supplies. And it is so much fun. Also can be a learning tool to learn to recognize constellations. Make Constellation Cups Here

How to Make a Solar System Diorama. This is a fun little project that uses styrofoam balls. I show you how to do it and how to paint the planets. Perfect project to impress at school.

Make a Solar System Diorama– This one is quite unique in that the solar system is inside a cardboard tube telescope (just a shipping tube) You take the side off and see the planets, or you can actually look in the eyepiece and see the planets. Make a Solar System Diorama
