Who Knew Moons Are So Fascinating?!
January 12, 2010 by KellyH.
As we moved into the second half of Chapter 10 (Vol 1) today, we focused on moons. Using the list of questions/facts from the 6th grade science objective #3, I started Googling phrases. First, I found this site:
The Lunar Clock at TheSwordbearer.org
This site taught us how to “read” the moon and then, based on its location in the sky, tell the time. Based on what we learned, the clock in the main graphic has the wrong time if we’re reading the moon correctly. 
The other site I found quite interesting is:
I didn’t realize that Shakespeare had such an influence on the naming of the moons of Uranus!
We also found a site that tells you how much you would weigh on the moon. Just plug-in your earthly weight and click the button:
The Moon’s Gravity at MoonConnection.com
I would love to hear about your “great finds” online and in books! Feel free to leave a comment here, on Facebook, or on the email list.
