Our Solar Unit

This term we have been learning about the sun and its energy.
We have been working with Room 5 and 7.
First we brainstormed all the things we knew about the sun.
We have investigated the UV rays of the sun with solar beads that change colour in the sun.  We have explored solar power and energy.  We created solar ovens and robots that use the sun's energy to move.  We have looked at some myths and legends about the sun.  Then we created some amazing sun art as well as ebooks about the sun.

Here are some photos of our work, including our initial brainstorms:
