This dynamic northern lights art lesson contains 5 cross-curricular art projects that merge art & science.  Loved by students, these projects go beyond that old chalk pastel project (that we all have done!) to produce stunning artwork for display. These projects let students explore a variety of materials while learning about the natural phenomena known as aurora borealis. This resource is designed for Kindergarten - 5th grade students & has projects suitable for students of all abilities. 

As a bonus, use the video preview with actual video of the northern lights in your classroom as part of your lesson.

This resource is in a PDF file and contains 26 pages. It includes: 

• Cross-curricular lesson with detailed instructions and photos for 5 projects
• Suggestions for project and material variations 
• Northern lights photos & facts
• 2 Northern lights kid-friendly explanations - 1 for younger & 1 for older students 
• Cross-curricular and literacy connections
• National Core Arts Standards and TEKS (Texas) for Kindergarten-5th grade students

With a variety of projects included, you can easily differentiate & meet the needs of all students in your classroom.  Project & material variations are included with each project so if you do not have a specific material, it can easily be swapped for another.  This is a perfect project to dress up the hallways with spectacular artwork after winter break!
