Mystery Class

This picture was during the first week. We are now going on the third week. The class was set up so that the students can make a graph that kept track of the photo period of each area, but we are doing it like other homeschoolers that we follow online. The photo-period is still calculated and added to the chart provided but the graphs we did in a way that represent daylight and night time (darkness) for each mystery location over time. We have chosen to use a different colour for each mystery location. The most interesting one is location six which shows a very small portion of sunlight at the bottom of the graph. In this location it is summer and they only get a few hours of darkness. So they must be located close to the South Pole! How exciting!
