Eclipses, Planet Size, Tide Investigations / Camp Packets


This week we investigated partial / total solar and lunar eclipses.  We also did some investigations with tides and drawing models of planet sizes compared to Earth.
Next week we will look at planet heat, asteroids, dwarf planets, and comets as well as reviewing for the Objects in the Sky Test.  We will also be finishing our last novel in our ReadyGen Series “George’s Secret Key to the Universe” the kids and I are definitely enjoying the book.  It will also be our last week of Reading Log.
Camp packets will also come home on Monday.  The schedules and menus are sometimes subject to change once we arrive at camp, but it should give the kids a good idea of what will be happening.  Camp is a blast, and I look forward to it every year! 
I can…in the coming week.
Compare comets, dwarf planets, asteroids.
Compare Earth to other planets in terms of supporting life.
Determine the theme of a story from details in the text and how characters respond to challenges.
Explain how a series of chapters fit together to provide overall structure of a story.
