January Journeyman

Journeyman:

1.  Check out This Week's Sky at a Glance!  By the time you read this, this week may be over.

Simply go to SkyandTelescope.com and find the new This week's Sky at a glance.  Go outside after dark at least once this week and see what you can find in the sky based on what you learn.

Read Chapters 5 and 6 in Exploring Creation with Astronomy

 EARTH and MOON

2. As we study the planets and moon, I would like you to be prepared to present on 1 of the 2 that we study each month.  There will obviously be more than one person on each, but that’s ok because you’ll have different ideas. The presentations don’t have to be long, just interesting! (1-3 minutes).  In addition to what is in the book, I would like you to discover what kind of modern exploration has been done with your planet or moon.

Here is a list of ways you can present your findings.  These can be used for any planet during our study of Astronomy.  Maybe you can use a different idea each month.  Feel free to come up with your own ideas for presenting.

4 (at least) bullet points about the Earth or Moon

A short report about it (at least a paragraph)

A poem about it (including some truths about it)

A drawing/painting/sculpting, or other art representation of it.

A song about it.

If you have any other good ideas, please share them with the whole group!

In journeyman each month we will listen to everyone present, and then we will do some type of amazing project together.
