A Thing of the Past...

Last week, we wrapped up with our Astronomy unit of study.  Prior to finishing the unit, we participated in a great activity to demonstrate how the Earth's rotation, thus the Sun's placement in the sky, effects out shadow throughout the course of the day.  Check out your scientists busy at work below.
