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
