- At this time in our project we are not really focusing in class on our project. But we are talking a lot about the project outside of class. We now know what exactly we are doing in our project. We know our experiment and how we are going to make it come together. We are having a little trouble starting our experiment, because one of our group mates are leaving us on Wednesday the 14Th. This is a problem because we wanted to start our experiment 0n this night but our partner will not be here for two weeks, so we don't know if to just to start the experiment without her, or just wait for her to come back.
Monday
Up-Date to our Project
Thursday
Procedure
1. We go up to the roof top, and set the telescope, and the transparent graph paper .
2. We set up the telescope to the spot to where we can see the moon in the best place.
3.We measured the angle where the moon is to us, then we record that angle.
4. Look through the telescope and make sure that the moon is alined with the telescope.
5. We use the tansparet grsph paper, and draw where the moon is at that hour.
6. The next hour we go back up and look through the telescope and see if the moon moved away from it.
7. Then we draw another moon onto the graph after the 2nd hour.
8. Repeat step 6 and 7 for about 2 more hours.
9. After about 5 days we do all the calculations. We use a ruler to measure how far away the two drawings of the moons that is on the graph paper.
10. Then we have scale the drawings up, as if it was in real life.
11.We repeat this for about a month.
12. At the end of the month we compare all the measurements and find out if moon travels the same way each time

Hypothesis
Hypothesis:
I think that about every hour the moon will move little, by little and will continue to move. It may move in the same way everyday. But that im not too sure about that. if it is the same everynight, I wonder what happends on leap years. If it was leap years would every measurment be different or would it be the same?-Savasia
Moon travels around the earth in a whole month and then this would make one cycle. But I think that each hour the moon wont travel very fast, but I know it does move atleast a little. I dont think that the distance for each hour that goes by will stay the same, I think that it is different. Well, I am anxious to find out if I am right or wrong. - Briannie
I think that the moon will move little by little each hour, because the moon's rate at traveling/distance does not change. The moon wont get any faster and the rate of the moon will stay the same. So each hour. evrytime the moon moves it will keep moving the same distance. Like for example: if the moon travels about 5 inches in the first hour, then it would move another 5 inches the next hour. - Megan

Introdution
Introduction:
In the beginnig of the Exit Project we didn't raelly know what we were going to do. Then we came up with this idea of going to the zoo and studying the polar bears r the penguins. But then to many people were doing a project like that so we had to change it. Then ms.Kissoon said that we should do something about space. So we were going to study the stars but then somebody was already doing that so ms.Kissoon suggested that we do something about the moon. So here we are now and we are working on the moon. We didn't know what exactly to do on the moon, then Savasia and Megan was talking to Matt. He suggested that we watch the moon. That's how we got out idea of moon following.
Now we are researching about the moon so we can get any kind of information that we can use to do the project. We are supposed to stand in a certain spot and watch the moon for a couple seconds, but we are supposed to do this for atleast 4 hours. When we study the moon we have to go back and look at the moon at a certain time of each hour. Like if we start watching the moon at 7:30pm we would have to go back at 8:30 at look at it again. You would do this for 4 hours. After we look at moon we would write down our observations, then figure out how much did the moon travel and if it did, did it move the same amout for each hour.
