 Seguimos viendo las Constelaciones en este 6º año de Primaria y hoy vamos a hablar de los signos del zodiaco y de las constelaciones zodiacales. Primero estudiaremos un poco cada uno de esos signos y después les pediremos a las alumnas y alumnos de 6º que dibujen su signo del zodiaco y luego para casa que os cuenten todo lo que sepan sobre las características de ese signo del zodiaco y si se corresponde con su personalidad

Para dibujar nuestro signo del zodiaco necesitamos

- cartulina oscura (negra o azul marino)

-purpurina para decorar

- rotulador o tiza blanca

*  También lo podemos hacer con leds y cuerda o goma para que quede más bonito

Aquí os dejo unos vídeos donde se muestra como hacerlo de varias maneras sencillas

Astronomy 603. How to Identify the Stars -  Zodiacal Constellations

Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial bodies, like planets, stars.... Astrology,on the other hand, is the study of the zodiac symbols and stars and the belief that they have influence over human lives. . The 12 zodiac constellations are: Capricornus; Aquarius; Pisces; Aries; Taurus; Gemini; Cancer; Leo; Virgo; Libra; Scorpius and  Sagittarius

Do you think that your life might be influenced by objects in space? Come and learn about what the zodiac is, as well as what constellations represent the different signs of the zodiac. 

Wouldn't it be cool if our lives were influenced by celestial objects? While this hasn't been scientifically proven, this is what the study of astrology is all about. Astrologists believe that the position of the planets, constellations, sun and moon on the day of your birth influences your life.

There are 12 different constellations, group of stars that seem to form a picture, along the path that the Sun travels every year. Each constellation corresponds with a zodiac sign. There is a range of dates for each zodiac sign that represents the dates that the sun is in front of each constellation.
