The 8th Graders have moved on from chemistry to a study of astronomy. This week we worked on understanding the earth-moon-sun system. The students should have an understanding of revolution and rotation of the earth and moon, phases of the moon and tides. They can also explain what causes a lunar and solar eclipse and what causes the Earth's seasons. Today we started a study of space exploration. We will first focus on the history of space exploration, such as the Apollo missions and then move on to more current exploration and discoveries. Later, we will focus on stars, galaxies and constellations.
I am really enjoying working with the 8th graders and seeing them coming together as a very close and faith-filled class. Keep up the good work!
