We have been researching constellations that are related to our star signs in Room 1 and here are some of the great work that we have created. Check out our student blogs for more! I thought Logan’s and Jade’s was particularly good because they have used their own words really well when re-writing their information into their power point. Kate and Ella have done a great job having a go at putting their information onto videos.

Also Room 1, I have a question for you. Can you explain what a Sidereal year and a Tropical year is, and describe the difference? I will give out 2000 HPS for the BEST answer (This will take more than just a couple of sentences!) CLUE: You need to discuss the equinox and solstice in your answers for a tropical year.
Hi
this is my answer for What is a Sidereal year
*A sidereal year is the time taken by the Earth to orbit the Sun.
And this is my answer foe what is a Tropical year
*A Tropical year is the length of time that the Sun takes to return to the same position in the cycle of seasons.
*Hope I get this one write!!!*
Just read more of the post and this is my other answer
this is my answer for What is a Sidereal year
*A sidereal year is the time taken by the Earth to orbit the Sun.
And this is my answer foe what is a Tropical year
*A tropical year (also known as a solar year) is the length of time that the Sun takes to return to the same position in the cycle of seasons, as seen from Earth. For example, the time from vernal equinox to vernal equinox, or from summer solstice to summer solstice
*Hope I get this one write!!!*
P.S mum healped me with understanding some of the words
Casey you need to get your spelling right it is helped not healped
Not a bad effort Casey. How is a Sidereal year measured? Can you also explain what a solstice and equinox are? You need to explain these in your answer to get the points!
You are correct with the Tropical year Casey. It is the time taken for the sun to travel from equinox to the next. So I will give you 1000HPS for that.
There is still 1000 HPS for the person who can explain a Sidereal year!!!
