Archaeologists in the 5th Grade

These fifth grade students are trying to figure out what the missing piece of the artifact has on it.  




They have already figured out that it seems to have pictures of day and night on it and a constellation called Orion.  Today they were trying to figure out why the archaeologists that found the artifact have never seen Orion in the sky when they return to the dig site every June.  


They used a systematic investigation in their SIMulation to figure out that some constellations are only visible during certain times a year.
