Students are pictured holding some books they used for their information. After, the class made traditional red decorations for the CDES library.

Ms. Wagor's 5th grade students were asked the question: How fast does the Earth spin?
By acting as the Earth spinning around the sun, students quickly realized the sun isn’t moving at all. In the activity, students used their bodies as a kinesthetic model of the Earth to understand how the speed of the Earth’s spin affects the length of a day.
Students learned that when their face spun towards the sun, their back spun away from the Sun. This proved that when sunrise is happening for one side of the world, sunset is happening for the other side of the world.
To answer the initial question, students learned that the circumference of the Earth is about 24,000 miles. Therefore, if it takes the Earth 24 hours to do one spin all the way around itself, that's 24,000 miles divided by 24 hours in one spin. If you do the math, that equals 1,000 miles an hour! The class was shocked!
Great job, all!
Reminder: There will be no school on Monday, Jan. 16, 2023 in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
