Week 3 Day 1 - A Star Is Born

Today is the first day of Week 3 and we started off the day putting together a puzzle. It was one I picked up from the dollar aisle at Target. I find lots of neat stuff in the dollar section.

The neat thing about this puzzle is that it glows in the dark. It's just a little activity, but it's hard to sit back and not pick up a piece.

Next we went online. By accessing http://www.astronomy.com you can see which stars, planets, etc. are in the sky over your home. It will tell you exactly what is over your head when step outside and look up.

We also went to our local library and looked up pictures of the planets. We learned about stars, galaxies, and even black holes. If you want to see some really incredible photos check out the ones from the Hubble space telescope by going here:  http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/entire.

Have fun and see you tomorrow.
