These two days we wrapped up our Health Projects (pictures should be coming soon) and began learning about some really fascinating Scientists.
Today we learned about Benjamin Banneker and how he took his skills in Math and Science and used them to solve every day problems. He created a watch of his own, by observing and sketching another; and created his own Almanac that was so popular it was second only to the Bible in popularity. WOW!!!
We also learned about Annie Jump Cannon and how she classified stars based on their color. We created a color wheel, that we will "play" with on Friday and combine the colors of the spectrum to make "white light". It should be fun!!!
