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 tonight at 9:00 PM to view the moon's phase, direction in the sky and elevation in the sky.    Set an alarm on a phone, clock or stove timer so you go out at the correct time. We took notes over the moon. 

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