If you are absent from class, many make-ups occur at 7:20 am. This is due to the time it might take to complete the lab. A shorter lab can usually be made up at lunch recess or X block.

Journal Earth 

Earth’s twin sister Venus makes a complete rotation every 8.2 months.  Predict four ways in which the Earth would change if a rotation on Earth changed from 24 hours to 8.2 months. 

OR

It is said that solstices and equinoxes start the various seasons (December 21, March 21, June 21, and September 22). Do you believe these dates officially start the various seasons? WHY or WHY NOT?  

Journal Moon

Imagine that no one on Earth used a calendar.  You need to develop a new calendar to make sense of the chaos. For your new calendar development you need to include the following: 1- describe the system you would use to organize days/months/years (for example our calendar organizes time based on the Earth’s rotation and revolution), 2-how and when would the different season occur, and 3- how time would be established (night and day).

OR

There are parts of the Earth (Arctic and Antarctic Circle- Iceland, Sweden, Russia, NW Canada, etc) that experience "Midnight Sun" (sun that never falls below the horizon- 24 hours sunlight) and "Polar Night" (sun does not rise). Would you rather live through the "Midnight Sun" or "Polar Night" for 6 months ? Explain your choice.
