Wednesday, March 11: Complete Section 7-3 Assessment Questions 1-5 (p. 189) in complete sentences

Friday, March 13: Go to the Solar Folklore page at http://solar-center.stanford.edu/folklore/#mesopotamia. Various cultures explained the sun and seasons in (what appeared to them) logical ways. Pick one of the these cultures (Indigenous American · Indigenous Australian · Mesopotamia · Judeo-Christian · Other Cultures) and read about how they explained the sun. Summarize your reading into a 5+ sentence paragraph.

Have a great week and Spring Break! Don't forget to balance a raw egg on the Equinox (March 20),
-Mr. Pfiester
