Thursday 6/11: ZOOM Class + Mystery Assessment

We will be doing a Mystery Science on the moon! You do not need to print out anything, but see the materials and setup below. At the end of the mystery, you will complete the mystery assessment as an exit ticket.

Materials & Setup--try your best to have these materials and setup so you can see the phases of the moon!
-If you can be in a room that can get dark, that would be best!
-Sun: flashlight
-Moon: In yesterday's video, my moon was a clay ball on a popsicle stick. Smooth styrofoam balls work too. If you have clay or play doh, you can roll it into a ball and put it on a pen or pencil! A smooth styrofoam ball also works well. If you do not have any of these materials, you can also just use a small ball to hold in your hand.
