Crown Point students taking
Astronomy with Mr. Barney constructed a 1/8 scale model of the famous
Stonehenge out of snow calling their project “Snowhenge.” Why, you might
ask? Scientists do not know who the creators of this landmark in southern
England were, but it is generally agreed that this structure was the first
calendar. The class studied the findings and locations of various points
on the stone circle that aligned with the Winter Solstice, Summer Solstice
and the two Equinoxes and built their model in alignment with Planetary
North and South. Credit should be given to Jeremy Dorr and Walter Worth
for assisting with creating the project. |
