Students will be able to:
use the information from hands on laboratory activites and classroom discussions to
-construct a model to measure parallax.
-describe how parallax can be used to find the distance between a star and Earth.

Students did a lab that demonstrated how parallax is used to determine the distance between the earth and the nearest stars. The completed lab sheet is due in class tomorrow.

The short story is due on Friday.

Students are also reminded that the winter packet MUST be turned in tomorrow (Thursday) in order to receive extra credit.
