Look for continuing details
In a picture on this theme, planet circles, star points and a rocket’s long body can provide reference points. Find a detail crossing two pieces and check its orientation before trying another join.
After the activity
Sort words into celestial objects and human-made objects; a rocket belongs in the second group. Distinguish objects seen in the sky from vehicles and instruments used to explore it.
Match continuing details
Start with outside edges, then find colors or lines continuing between two pieces. Arrange pieces without gluing until you have checked the full picture. Keep the reference visible at first and put it aside for a second attempt.
