Mrs. Lindsey was everyone’s favorite teacher at Lincoln Elementary School. She was known for her entertaining teaching techniques. One day she walked into the classroom and announced to the class that they would all be seeing stars in their futures. She then asked, “Does anyone know what astronomy is?” Olivia raised her hand and said, “I’m a Libra.” Mrs. Lindsey responded, “I can understand why you would think that astrological signs are part of astronomy because astrology and astronomy both deal with celestial beings. In fact, many of the constellations in the sky have given their names to astrological signs” Mrs. Lindsey then went on to explain that astrology is the belief that the location and movement of stars and planets affect the way events transpire on earth, which is why horoscopes are based on astrological signs. Astronomy, however, is a branch of science that deals with celestial bodies, the universe as a whole and space. “We are going to be learning about astronomy in this unit, and that is why you will be seeing stars in your future.” “I love looking at the stars at night,” said Olivia. When Mrs. Lindsey asked who else liked looking at stars, everyone in the class raised their hands. She then passed out star charts and asked the class to look at the sky that night and record the visible constellations.
