We will begin an exciting activity on the Journey North website called Mystery Class. You can get more information at http://www.learner.org/jnorth/mclass/. There are 10 real mystery classes hiding around the world. Your class will be divided into 10 groups and be assigned to one particular mystery class. Each week they will send us sunrise/sunset and cultural/historical clues through the Journey North website. Our job is to use those clues to determine the location of each mystery class by the end of April. We will be doing Mystery Class related activities on Monday and Friday of this week.
We are continuing our Electricity and Magnetism unit this week. The homework and DUE dates are as follows:
