Observation journal options

Observation Journal: 100 points. Observation project of the night sky. Choose from below and recording:

· Moon Journal: pick one spot, draw the moon from that spot (or photograph) for 4 weeks with at least 10 observations
· Moving constellations. Draw the circumpolar constellations over a six hour period. Repeat another night.
· Draw the same spot in the sky (like stars hovering above a tree in your yard) 10 nights
· Write ten entries over the next 17 weeks documenting how you hear non-astronomy people use astronomy terms and what they might be trying to accomplish by using them. (mars bars, Saturn cars, etc.)
· Write ten reflections on the topics we’re learning about or your colleagues are presenting about.
· Look up at the night sky and design your own myth, draw the stars, constellation shape, write a brief myth for each one.
