P4 visited the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh today!
They saw a telescope in the Victorian telescope dome, which astronomer’s use to look at the night sky.

They handled different meteorites and tektites!
If you were looking for a meteorite, what would you look for?
(clue – think about the properties!)
hi im in the picture soooo weird

Yes you would because it would have burned up as it came through our atmosphere.
What else would you look for?
you would look for a black rock

Leah – What do you mean you look weird, I hadn’t noticed 🙂
Cara and Zoe good answers!
Miss Razzaq – I’m not sure – your questions are challenging!

egypt had a lot of king’s like tutinkahum.
the king’s were called pharoes.

the pharoeh often married close female relatives such as his sister or sister in law.
more than 7000 years ago, people from africa arrived in central egypt.

the 3 pyramids at the town of Giza are more than 4,500 years old
