Welcome back, everyone! We have a busy March ahead of us. We have updated our Calliope Webpage Calendar.
We have also been working hard on our space research. We learned, for example, that Ally can jump six inches here in the classroom, but she would be able to jump 3 feet into the "air" on the moon. We are studying everything from black holes to exploding stars to nebulae. We can't wait to show it all to you at the Green Breakfast. Next week, we'll post a slide show of us building planets. If Mercury is the size of a marble, and the Earth is the size of a softball, we realized that Jupiter would have to be a whole meter in diameter. We still haven't finished making Jupiter yet.
-- And if Jupiter had the diameter of a yardstick, how wide do you think the sun would be? You're going to be amazed. Do some research and tell us at the Green Breakfast!
