Today’s question:
How can we measure distances and direction in the sky?

5. There is no way around it, you need to learn some new
Word investigation

6. This should go into your science journal.
You can make it bigger
More spread out
More than one page
A different order
A different layout
You just need each word with 2 places for information

7. Go to this week’s page on MrHyatt.rocks
Play around with the interactives to figure these words out
