AGENDA:
- Earth-Moon-Sun motions group learning (Ch. 22.2 in the Earth Science text)
- Earth-Moon-Sun motions group teaching
- Due tomorrow: Astronomy Notebook #1
- Due Monday: Movie Story - facts and fibs OR song project - completed lyrics
- 50 points: Create a 3-dimensional model of one of the following. Everything in the model should be labeled. If it is not possible to make a part of the model exactly to scale, make a note of this by the name of the object. Models should not be smaller than 10 inches across or larger than 2 1/2 feet across so that they will be easy to carry. You may make as many as you like. Credit will be awarded based on the quality of the work and the accuracy of the work.
