Every Wednesday in math we check the sunrise and sunset in our region. We record the sunrise/sunset and also figure out how much daylight we have on that particular day. Calculating the amount of sunlight in a day can be tricky! We graph it on a chart in class. The students will also graph it themselves later this year.
In a couple of weeks we'll also check the high and low temperatures in the continental United States on Wednesday. We'll find the difference between the high and low each week too. This is especially good practice when the lows get in the negatives (something positive about negative temperatures).
