Today in Science 3/24

Hi Students! Before you can take part in the fun, food activity, we have to get down to business. You must complete the moon study guide and have it checked by Mrs. Hudak, or Miss Albanese, before you can begin your Nilla Wafer Moon Phases. When you begin icing your moon phases make sure you are paying close attention to detail. When you are finished eating your Nilla Wafer Moons make sure all of your trash ends up in the garbage can and your tables are clean. Have fun...I wish I could be there!!!

Learning Goal:
*Explain what causes the phases of the moon.
*Compare the causes of solar and lunar eclipses.
*Explain what causes the tides.
