3/4 Science

We have started our unit "Sun, Moon and Stars". We have spent some of the last sunny days this month observing how the sun travels across the sky. The students have also read in their science books more in depth about how it is actually the earth moving that causes changes in the sun's position and the length and position of the shadows it creates. Along with the studying the sun, the students are continuing their study of "life cycles". The students are working in pairs or trios, doing research about the lifecycle of a different animal. Each group will create a poster about their animal's life cycle and will share what they learned with their classmates.
