We have spent much time reviewing material we have learned throughout the course of the year. Once OAAs are completed we'll begin our Astronomy unit, using the National Geographic book, 13 Planets by David A. Aguilar as a resource. As we study tour solar system and beyond, each class will research and publish a book on an interesting facets of Astronomy.
They will select from the following research topics: the planets, asteroids, meteors, and comets, galaxies, space shuttles, telescopes, the Sun, stars, black holes, supernovas, constellations, satellites, the Aurora Borealis, our Moon and its phases, eclipses, and NASA. Students may also choose another topic of interest not listed above. They will prepare a written report with an illustration (rough drafts due Wednesday, May 16th) and present their research in an oral presentation during class time Wednesday, May 23rd. Most work will be completed in class, however there may be some work that will need to be completed at home.
Stay tuned for more details!
It is your child's responsibility to write updated assignments in his/her agenda each day during class. Please review your child's agenda each night.
