Well, we have discussed the motion of the Earth around the sun as well as the moon around the Earth. I have asked the students to attemp to find the moon each day, whether it was visible during the day or night. Many were successful while others were unable to locate it. I am certain that as the moon enters the waxing stages they will be more apt to locate it. We will continue this for the remainder of Sept. and into Oct.
We have read through pages 6 and 7, 10-13. We have taken notes to demonstrate how to find out what is important in the reading as well as drawing pictures to depict the concepts discussed. Most of the first few pages of the Astronomy packet have been completed.
The pages that should be done or mostly completed are as follows:
pages1 -all
page 2 -the first 3 vocab terms
pages -10-13 much of this was done in class however some needed to complete it for hw.
The students should begin to become familiar with many astronomy related vocabulary terms such as rotation, revolution, axis, and orbit.
More to come,
Mrs. Sogard
