This was the most wonderful project I have done with my class to date!
As we started, I questioned the ability of third graders to complete
this. Surprisingly all got really involved and had really enjoyed
going from the discovery that lattitude determines the length of day and
then exploring what longitude told them. Thanks for all this fun!
