*tell about the calculator activity you did with Dr Yaffe.
*share your Australian animal and some facts you've learned about it.
*what Australian game did you play?
*what constellation is on the Australian flag? Wouldn't it be fun to see some northern hemisphere constellations one dark and clear night (we mentioned the Big Dipper but also Orion is easy to spot)
