Kimberly,

 Please recall that I was there during  a diurnal period. The sun was always, always shining. I did not see Northern Lights, this time!

Thanks Kimberly,

Mrs. Eubanks

HI Kimberly,

Glad your internet is working!

I did tell you what a diurnal is in class - and I am so glad that you are using that word in class. I like to hear you using new words1

For internet purposes - we called the 24 hour cycles of testing carbon diurnals. Diurnal means day and nocturnal means night. Since we had 24 hours of sunlight in Barrow this summer we were  always in a diurnal period!

Thanks,

From the Tropics,

Mrs. Eubanks
