Mr. Eclipse also has this great multiple exposure of a lunar eclipse over Maui.

Thanks to Mr. Eclipse for this great resource on lunar and solar eclipses.

We are doing more than just learning Science.  We are doing Science.  We used lots of hands-on materials and tools to experience, explore, observe, and investigate science.  We felt like real scientist!

We have been studying a unit on Solar Systems. We made models to explain what causes day and night Can you pick out which model just explains day and night without any extras? We have also been studying the moon and its phases. We’ll have more on that later.
