Can we please review the moon. Also, I'm having a hard time visualizing questions such as #11 from the review packet. Thanks! - Lauren
ReplyDeleteSure. I just posted the moon worksheet from last Thursday's class on Blackboard (plus answers), so be sure to look at that. For things like #11, the trick is to know where the Sun and the Moon are with respect to each other when the Moon is full.
DeleteGreat questions. We'll definitely do more on this in class.
