Sun, Moon, and Stars is normally our first study in science. We look forward to...

• Observing the position of the sun and our shadows on a sunny morning and afternoon

• Tracing our shadows on the sidewalk

• Learning how the tilt of the earth creates the seasons

• Hopefully driving across the 45th parallel this year if we can do a field trips maybe by the winter or spring

• Comparing the time of sunset in Minneapolis and Duluth

• Marveling at the size of our solar system

• Observing patterns in the phases of the moon

• Making a moon stick to record each full moon of the school year
