In Science on Friday we will be using the App SkyView Lite.  If you would like to upload it before class on Friday that would be super.  Make sure you have your parents permission to do so on your phone or Ipad.  If you do not have a phone or ipad device, do not worry.  I am sure there will be people that share what the app looks like and what appears on their screen.

A review: " Ever wonder what constellations the stars create at night? Curious how the ancient Greeks decided there was a person beaming back from a couple of bright dots? Stargazing can be a relaxing and fun activity to do with close friends, family members or a significant other — but it can be difficult to read the sky unless you're an astronomy expert. That's where the SkyViewFree app comes into play.

SkyView Free is a free augmented reality (AR) app for both iOS and Android devices, that uses your smartphone's camera to uncover different constellations, planets, star clusters, stars and other celestial bodies in the night sky. You can also discover coordinates and facts, which if you have kids, can turn your stargazing into an educational experience."
