Urbas - Science Week of May 10 - 16

Students this week were using the StarLab Planetarium to view the constellations, coordinates, myths and cultures during this past week in Science. They enjoyed the experience of "camping" in our classroom every day this week.

Next week we continue the study of the stars focusing on our own star the Sun.
