Week 5 Day 3 Night and Day

After Gratitude Circle,  we discussed moon phases and played Simon Says Moon Phases since today focuses on the Moon. Then we talked about why the Moon glows. To emphasize that it is a reflection of light from the Sun,  they completed laser puzzle challenges. They had three mirrors and a goal and as a team they had to figure out how to reflect the laser to hit the goal. Next we discussed the Giant Impact Hypothesis for how the Moon formed and played  Among Us on the Moon  (various tasks spread across Little Rose needed to be completed to fix their spaceship and return safely to Earth). After the game, we took a snack break, practiced their play and went to the obstacle course. Then they finished their nocturnal fantasy animal art from yesterday. Next was lunch and hiking to explore the creek. Lastly, some explorers played “Why are you late?” or volleyball 4 square while waiting to get picked up.
