Get to Know Your Galaxy!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Axon's classroom raised $342

My Project

Have you ever thought about what’s beyond our solar system? Think real big, because we’re about to explore galaxies!

My class will begin a study on the galaxies and its wonders.

I would like to make this study of the galaxies very fun by exploring with a class telescope so my students will understand this is a tool that astronomers use to see faraway objects. A class backdrop will bring the theme to life within to the classroom. I want my students to explore understand that galaxies are huge spans of gas, dust, dark matter, and from a million to trillions of stars. Everything in a galaxy is bound by gravity. Each star in a galaxy is a sun and there are thousands of solar systems in every galaxy.
