Science

Because of unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to create our sundials last week, and we instead created a "Universe in a Box" to help us visualize what the positions of the constellations can tell us about the seasons. This week we WILL be investigating the earth's rotation and the sun's position in the sky by making our own sundials! We will also be investigating the different phases of the moon and using a model to demonstrate the process.

Have a great week, and thank you for your support!
Ms. Amy and Mr. Andrew
