Stars & Galaxies Word Searches

This  set of word searches covers stars themselves, the constellations people have named for thousands of years, galaxies of different shapes, and our own Milky Way. Designed for 3rd through 5th grade, the puzzles use larger grids with diagonal words to match more confident readers and the longer vocabulary the topic invites. They make a strong companion to a night-sky or astronomy lesson and a good springboard for a stargazing or constellation-drawing activity. A complete answer key prints on the second page of every puzzle.
