Layered Book Assignment
Using your fact sheet, made a layered-book identifying the three types of galaxies.
1. Make a three-layer book. You make this by using two sheets of paper. This will
give you three tabs.
a. Stack two sheets of paper (8½ x 11), and place the back sheet
one inch higher than the front sheet.
b. Bring the bottom of both sheets upward and align the edges so
that all the layers or tabs are the same distance apart.
c. When all tabs are an equal distance apart, fold the papers and
crease well.
d. Open the papers and glue them together along the
valley/center fold.
2. Label your three-layer book.
a.
Title the layered book “Types of Galaxies.”
b.
Title the first tab “Elliptical Galaxies.” Draw a picture of an
elliptical galaxy and provide facts about elliptical galaxies.
c. Title the second tab “Irregular Galaxies.” Draw a picture
of an irregular galaxy and provide facts about irregular
galaxies.
d. Title the third tab “Spiral Galaxies.” Draw a picture of a
spiral galaxy and provide facts about spiral galaxies.
