Teacher Tips: The FCPS Starfinder is a portable planisphere (no PC required) that shows 22-or-so of the most recognizable constellations, which include many of the brightest stars in the night sky. Using a Starfinder is a hands-on activity in which students learn to, well, use a starfinder to locate stars and constellations in the night sky. (Teacher's Answer Key available upon request.)
