Egypt

Room 10 students have been learning about Egypt.  

Here are some interesting facts that I have learnt throughout the week. 

Popplet

We have been using Popplet to do our planning on.  This helps us a lot with our writing and it is better to use Popplet for our brainstorms.  It is also a very helpful website for us Room 10 students.

Night and Day

Night and Day

Did you know that night and day is caused by the Earths rotation?  The Earths rotation on its axis is responsible for our days and nights.  As Earth keeps rotating, our side turns away from the sun.  The cause of day and night is the spinning of the Earth on its axis.  The axis is also tilted.  WOW!.  As the Earth spins on its axis, light from the sun falls on different parts of the Earth causing day and night. It spins on its axis which is an imaginary line passing through the North and South poles.  The Earth rotates once in every 24 hours ( 1 day ) and makes its revolution around the sun.  Day and night occur because the Earth spins counter-clockwise.  In fact, the Earth is rotating at 1,040 miles per hour.  When the Earth spins on its axis, it creates day and night on Earth.  The sun rises in the East and sets in the west, turning day into night.  Daytime is bright and dazzling, while the night is dark and dim.  While the sun makes the earth come alive with its passionate heat, the moon makes it relax with its cool romantic touch.   Throughout the year the length of day and night changes.

These are all of the fascinating informations that I know about Night and Day.  How much do you know about Night and Day?
