Astronomy
Last week we really got into astronomy. What is happening in the skies above us? How does that affect what is happening on Earth? How can we use the skies above to find our way around? How have people before us (without GPS etc) known about and used astronomy?
One of the things we realised was that we weren't always sure of what direction was what way. So we made our own compasses. This knowledge is also handy if we get lost in the bush and need to build a compass to help find the right direction.

| We put the metal through a piece of cork and floated it. How would that help us to find North? |
