The "So What" Section:                                        

 

 

 

Why are we studying this term and how does it relate to what we are learning in class?  

 

We are studying this term because we are talking about the universe and in

 

the universe there are galaxies and then there is one special galaxy " The

 

Andromeda Galaxy"! It's important to now all the galaxies out there just in

 

case we end up building something that can take us there to find life somewhere else

 

besides earth, but first we will probably have to build something that can go to all our

 

planets before entering a whole different galaxy

 

 

What could you use to remember this word?

 

Andromeda sounds like drama.We could remember a story that goes like

 

this... There is a lot of drama in the sixth grade but when it comes to

 

Science we deal with the AnDROMEda Galaxy.
