Good Afternoon!

Today we started learning about the Sun. We took a few notes in our notebook and then we watched an awesome video on how NASA finally has a Ultra HD video of the Sun. Here is the link if you are interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tmbeLTHC_0

We started our Features of the Sun activity packet, and will finish on Wednesday during class.

Today we also had a quiz on the Formation of the Solar System. I also handed out the Notebook checklist -- which is due on WEDNESDAY or FRIDAY!!
