This is the unit many students have been waiting for: Space! We will first explore our own solar system: the moon, sun, and planets. Then we will expand our view to the galaxies and universe at large.
Currently we are learning about the moon and its lunar phases. Your child will be recording the moon's phase every night for the next 29 days. We will model lunar and solar eclipses, discuss tides and the moon's gravitational pull. This week we will just touch on the sun, but discuss it in greater depth next week: its parts, solar mass ejections, and its effect on Earth.
Please expect a planet project letter to come home next week (more information to come). In addition, we have the Planetarium visiting Neuse Charter School in March with exhibits and fun simulations!
