Thursday, January 19th

Today we began work in the Exploring Space workbook.  Students read the article, Seeing Faraway Things as Though Nearby, pgs. 1-3. The article discusses the invention of the telescope and how it was improved over time.  Students answered the questions on pgs. 3-5
This afternoon, the Exploring Comets II workbook was handed out.  We read article, pgs. 1-2, What Are Comets Made Of.  It talks about how scientists are learning about comets by studying a comet that broke apart.  By studying the parts of the comet, it helps scientists understand what makes up a comet.  Students answered the question on pg. 2.
They began the Comet Comparisons, activity on pgs. 3-5. Students write a description of a picture of Comet Machholz.
