Science Unit: The Sun, Earth and Moon
Students have started to build deeper understanding of the Earth's position in space relative to the sun.  We built models to show how it rotates and revolves around the sun, which causes day light and night time, and the changing seasons.  We also have started to examine the moon relative to the sun and Earth and how we can only see the moon when it is reflecting the sun's light.  When we return from vacation, we will be collecting information about where we see the sun relative to school during different times of the day.
