Well, the year is nearly over and this is our last unit to learn about in science this year. I think everyone is interested in the planets and sun. I also think you already KNOW a few things about the solar system. In class we will learn about differences in the sizes of the planets and the sun. Also we will discover how far apart they are and what FORCE holds everything in its place (orbit) in our solar system. Finally we will compare the features of Earth and the moon. And once we understand that the moon only REFLECTS the sun's light (it is not a source of light like the sun) we will be able to model the PHASES of the moon's monthly cycle.
I am excited about helping you learning more about our solar system. I have selected several more cool websites and activities you can look at for you HOMEWORK! Just kidding---still no homework, but YOU MUST HAVE FUN!
