1. Visit https://spotthestation. nasa.gov/ and go to sighting opportunities to find out when you can see the International Space Station from your location! Look for the space station on one of the designated dates and times for your location. It is good to record notes so that you can replicate it for your projector lamp. 4. Don’t forget to decorate the lid piece of your scratch art insert too!
2. Using a pencil, sketch onto your scratch art insert what you saw when you went looking for the International Space station. Use a wooden scratch board tool to scratch out your design. 5. Place your insert into your projector lamp. Insert batteries into the base of your lamp.
3. You can also add the date and time to remind you when you were able to see the International
Space Station.
6. Once the lights are out, turn on your projector lamp and be reminded of the time you saw the International Space Station!
