astronomy maps/ charts?

[kittie313]

I need to find some maps for our astronomy study this summer. I'm looking for one of the solar system, one of the most common constellations, and a chart of the zodiac and what those constellations are. Does anyone know where I could find these at?

I don't need huge ones, just the size of a sheet of paper is fine (going in our lapbooks and one of each to laminate for reference to hang on the telescope)

Try your state parks department. We have a group of astronomers that travel around our state to do star gazing events.

Thanks! Since dh is going to be doing *most* of the astronomy study I'll have him look over these sites this weekend to see what he wants. I know he was going to use some material from www.cosmos4kids.com but other than that I have no clue really. I'm just doing a lapbook on twinkle twinkle to kick off the astronomy study, and finding minits for his binder project that he's doing with the big kids and getting him supplies as he requests them.
