Fifth Grade Astronomers

Fifth-grade students are taking on the role of archeologists and astronomers in science. In our first unit, Patterns of Earth and Sky, an ancient astronomical artifact motivates students to investigate daily and yearly patterns of stars. Students used their observation skills to describe the artifact. You can click on this link to see and hear observations made by Bella, Harper, Noah, and Shane. To better understand Earth, students created 3-D models; this link is a model created by Ella and Tara. You can click on this link to get a glimpse into the classroom.
