Science with Mrs. Brown- We continued with the Moon Watch project and discussed the data students collected.  Check your January/February calendar handed out in class to see if you go out this weekend at 9:00 PM to view the moon's phase, direction in the sky and elevation in the sky.  Make a sketch of the moon each night on your Moon Watch Instruction sheet and bring this information to class on Monday to share with your classmates.  Set an alarm on a phone, clock or stove timer so you go out at the correct time. We handed in the moon survival activity, the Element Information Packet, and the Importance of Element Uses Poster.  

Homework-   Moon Watch continues.  The January constellation is due on Feb. 1st.
