This week we began our science unit on Cycles! We've been discussing the difference between rotation and revolution. We're trying not to get dizzy as we see the Earth is rotating on its axis as it also revolves around the sun -- that's a lot of moving! :-)
We're learning about day and night as well as the four seasons. I hope the moon project is going well and that you're seeing a difference in the moon phases as you observe the night sky!
Here are a few great videos that explain what we've been learning in class so far!
