First Unit of the Year - Earth & Space

We are off and running!

**Quick reminder we will have a notebook check tomorrow. All you need is to make sure you have all the things I have given you and completed all the work!**

Yesterday all the students were given a phenomenon (something in the real word which we want to explain). They were introduced to a group chat conversation between 3 'students'. One of the students lived in Stamford, CT. The second lives in Beijing, China. The third in Perth, Australia. The conversation is available here.  

My students were asked to read through this and start thinking about what is happening with the Earth, Sun & moon to create the changes our fictional chat group experience. We then created an initial model for the students to explain it all. 

Over the next few weeks, we will be learning more and more about the Earth, Sun & moon and we will figure out exactly what is happening with this chat. 

Check this site often. I'll put up videos, links, homework and more. Sometimes I will even put extra credit. For example --> write your name on a post-it note and leave it on my desk by tomorrow and you'll get extra credit on tomorrow's notebook check!

Not all posts will be this long so don't worry!

Let's go!
