^ What did you learn? ^ What are you still curious about? ^
| How to determine how big the sun was using the pinhole phenomena. | How accurate are our estimates of the sun's size?|
| How far away the sun is from earth.  | Can this concept be applied to the moon? If the moon was full and bright enough, could we determine its size using the pinhole phenomena?| 
| To draw on my knowledge from other courses, because they can relate to physics. | Will I ever be able to understand directions of North, South, East, and West? |
| I figure things out by drawing diagrams or images. | What new questions can we ask children where they could apply this concept? |
| There is more than one way to arrive at an answer. | How would we adjust this activity for different ages of children? |
| The "b" and "d" trick for determining whether the moon is growing or getting smaller. | What other activities can you do with geometry and math? |
| The logic behind how and why the equations work the way they do. | If we used a different light source, such as a flashlight, would a bigger or smaller image of the light appear in our experiment? |
| How to connect geometry and things I already knew to new subjects and things I am still curious about. | |
| It is really good to listen to your students and staff because they can offer ideas I maybe wouldn't have considered. | How well is the Ning going to fit our needs? |
