Cycle 2 Week 10
When the moon is waxing and waning, what does this actually mean?
So, we all know that the moon seems like it's getting bigger and smaller everytime you look at it in the sky. Why is this so? Well, when the moon is "waning", it's getting smaller. But then when the moon is "waxing", it gets bigger. To remember this, if you ever saw the old version of Karate Kid, he was taught waxing; bigger, and waning; smaller. (Ms.Douglas told us this by the way.)

Comments Cycle 2 Week 9
Natalie: Good explanation.
Cierra: Hehe. You commented on your own post. But, you spelled sundial wrong like the whole time! Other than that, great explanation Cierra!
Cycle 2 Week 9
Today in class, we went outside at about 10 o'clock to test a sundial. The shadow of the sun dial at this time wasn't exactly at the north point, but about. Then, we went back out at about 11 o'clock and saw where the shadow pointed now. It was now directly on the north point. The purpose of a sundial is to tell time. It works by letting you know what time it is by where the sun is reflecting its shadow. From class today, I learned that you can make your own sundial with a paper plate, puddy, and some type of stick. The sun is the key point to helping a sundial function/work. In the sky, it seems like the sun is moving. When an object is in the sun, a shadow will appear. On a sundial, the sun moves clockwise and then it relates to the time of day.(http://www.indebthinfo.com/clocks/sundials.shtml)
