Yesterday, we finished our three day event at Memorial Middle School and despite the fact that because of the cloudy weather only approx. 30 students had an opportunity to observe the Sun, a total of 265 6th grade students learned a lot about what happens at our Star. Inside as well as outside activities gave them insight how the sun works and how the storms it produces can affect life on earth. In addition, they learned what shooting stars or meteors are and how to identify meteorites. They felt real tiny small as they realized how big our solar system is compared to our little earth.
A great 3 day event at a great school with great teachers and students.
Clear Skies,
