Okay not quite the rhyming scenario required but you get my drift! :) A great homeschool mom turned me on to this via her little yahoo list called Homeschool Tips. By going directly to the following site (http://www.learner.org/jnorth/mclass/) you get to sign up to locate/try to locate 10 different mystery classes located all over the globe using photo period (hours of daylight) to determine the locations. In addition to learning how to determine photo period we've also been studying/reviewing longitude, latitude, rotation of the earth on it's axis and around the sun. This is an fairly independent work for middle and high school ages, a bit more help need for the elementary ages but well worth it. After they submit their "guesses" the locations are revealed with great photos and further information on the locations by the Mystery Classes. Check it out!
