Are you noticing some interesting changes in your graph? Plot today's data, look at your graph carefully, and then try to answer:
Challenge Question #2:
"What do you think your graph will look like on March 20, 2002? Why do you think so?"
(To respond to this question, please follow the instructions below.)
By the way, what's the "standing" of your eggs these days?
Countdown to Clues
Over the past weeks, the weekly sunrise/sunset data has allowed you to determine quite a bit about the Latitude of each Mystery Class.
- In next week's Update, we'll provide the long-awaited Longitude Clues and instructions.
These clues will help you to estimate the approximate Longitude of the Mystery
Classes. You'll need to follow the instructions carefully. But be patient--it will
be worth it!
- After the Longitude Clues, we'll post more clues each week for five weeks. These
additional clues will provide information on geography, culture, language, history,
and other topics to help you narrow your search for your secret friends.
- Then on April 26, you'll send in your answers and tell us where you think the 10 secret Mystery Classes are located.
In the meantime, here's one more jammin' Teacher Tip to help you get ready for the Longitude Clues:
- Teacher Tip! Rappin' and Rhyming with Longitude
This Week's Sunrise/Sunset Times
Remember, the secret Mystery sites recorded their times last Monday, the same day you collected your own local sunrise/sunset data.
