Science (G)~
We began chapter 2. Our focus question: What Makes up our Solar System? We made a model of the earth and moon today. The earth is 4 times the size of the moon. The distance between the two objects is 30 times the size of the earth's diameter. The moon is much smaller and farther away than we think. We also read about stars and galaxies.
