This week s sunrise/sunset times for Mystery Class #9 both were different by about an hour from last week. The photoperiod was similar to previous weeks. Our best guess about why this occurred is that the area where the Mystery Class is located must have had a time change. When we investigated this possibility, we found that not everyone has a time change on the same weekend as the United States (Daylight Savings Time). (We have a feeling we know what country has a time change in February, but we don t want to give any clues.) ;-) The photoperiod trend line isn t affected because both the sunrise and sunset times changed, but the amount of daylight is about the same. In other words, the amount of daylight stayed constant; how it is tracked changed. John Paul II Homeschool Academy, Minnesota
