  1. Mystery Class Project Ms. Alexander’s Class 2011 - 2012

  2. About the Project Somewhere on the earth there are ten mystery classes hiding. It’s your job to find them!

  3. Sunrise and Sunset Data Using weekly sunrise and sunset data clues we made line graphs to help chart the photoperiods of each mystery class. We then compared them to our photoperiod to help us narrow our search.

  4. Clues After eight weeks we started receiving clues. Some sure were hard! We had to do a lot of research to find the answers! "Some of the world's highest mountains are on our continent."

  5. Meet our Teams Each team worked really hard on the project. Here’s what they had to say about what they learned and about their mystery class.

  6. Team #1Rabat, Morocco Jamie, Minna, Alex B.

  7. What We’ve Learned • Longitude ( north to south) and latitude (east to west). • Military time (24 hours on the clock instead of 12) ex: 18:24. • How to do line graphs.

  8. About our Mystery Class • They are in the second grade. • Their school mascot is a lion. • Rabat, the capital city, is ¼ of it’s region’s name (Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer). Our Mystery Class This is a Kasbah, or fort.

  9. Team #2Maseru, Lesotho Jamie, Minna, and Alex B.

  10. What We’ve Learned • We learned a new way to solve elapsed time. • We learned about photoperiod (how long the sun is up). • We learned how to make line graphs.

  11. About our Mystery Class • The Basotho Hat Shop, one of the landmarks in Maseru, Lesotho is on their flag. • They are in the 5th grade at the AISL, or American International School of Lesotho. • Their school is in a residential area near a golf course, instead of in the city.

  16. Mystery Class #4 Montevideo, Uruguay By: Hallie and Clay

  17. We have learned… Facts Our Graph • We have learned you can’t just go with the first answer you have. • We have learned how to factor photoperiods. • We learned how to make a line graph. • We learned about longitude and latitude.

  18. Mystery Class #4 They have pi day. Their flag has a sun on it. Uruguay is bordered by Brazil and Argentina. They speak Spanish.

  19. Team #5Sheffield, England By Danny and Evie

  20. What We Learned • We learned about Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) which is the time in Greenwich. (It is also referred to as Universal Time.) • We learned about photoperiod, which is the time between when the sun is up and when it sets. • We learned about latitude and longitude, which are coordinates where a place is located.

  21. Our mystery class • In Sheffield they have two football (or soccer) teams. One nicknamed the Blades (or Sheffield United) and the other nicknamed the owls (or Sheffield Wednesday.) • In Sheffield the Coordinates are 53.38N and 1.47W.

  22. Team #6Casey Station(Australia),Antarctica Catherine, Reid, and Henry

  23. What We Learned • We learned about latitude (horizontal imaginary lines) and longitude (vertical imaginary lines). • We learned about military time, it’s time in 24-hour format. • We learned about photoperiod the hours and minutes of sunlight in a day.

  24. Our Mystery Class • We are located outside the Antarctic circle, thought we are on Antarctica their station is owned by Australia. • They have a supermarket called “Woolies” and everything is FREE! • Our mystery class is located near 5 major peninsula in the Windmill Islands.

  25. Team #7Singapore, Singapore Reid, Catherine, Henry
