MS District Track Meet Today

There's a lot of kids gone today for the middle school district track meet so I'm going to post some of the things we covered in class today.
GIS students go here for some really cool science games. We are continuing our work on the 8th grade graduation Video.
6th, 7th and 8th grade science: We're continuing our discussion on Earth's weather. We demonstrated how the seasons change here on Earth. Important vocab words are:
Equinox and Solstice.
During the spring and summer equinox, times for daylight and night are equal.
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year. For the Northern hemisphere that is June 21. For the southern hemisphere it is December 21.
The winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year. For the Northern hemisphere that is December 21 and for the Southern hemisphere it is June 21.
A solstice occurs when either the North or South Pole is pointed more towards the Sun.

We watched a pretty informative video on the Sun/Earth system and how the seasons change.
