Sky Watch

A Georgia backyard under the real sky.

A 3D Georgia backyard where the child controls time to watch shadows, day length, the Moon and the stars. The Sun, the Moon and the stars are computed for a backyard in north Georgia for the real date and time.

In the workshop. Planned for January 2027.

Sky Watch home at 5:30 PM: the floating backyard under a pink and purple sunset sky with the Sun at the right edge of the yard and the house windows lit.

Standards

The standards it is being built for

Georgia Standards of Excellence codes, exactly as written. The topic under each code is our plain-language summary.

The plan

Five planned stations

Sky Watch is in development, and none of this is released yet. Every station asks the child to observe, record and predict.

Blink, a firefly, is the guide.

  1. Shadow ClockS2E2.a

  2. Shady SpotS2E2.b

  3. Day LengthS2E2.c

  4. Moon JournalS2E2.d

  5. Star FlightS2E1.a, S2E1.b

Causes sit behind an optional “Show me why” button. No child is quizzed on a cause, a Moon phase name or Earth’s tilt.

The privacy label

Its label comes with it.

Sky Watch is still being built, so there is no label to print yet. It will have one before it opens, like every other world.

Plates

Three more looks inside

Sky Watch Shadow Clock station: the backyard at 10:00 AM with the Sun low on the left and a stick casting a shadow on the lawn, beside the text The Sun seems to move across the sky. The shadow moves too.
Sky Watch Moon Journal station: the backyard at 6:33 PM under a dark blue sky with stars and lit house windows, an empty row of circles for moon drawings, and the text Step to the next evening. Look for the Moon.
Sky Watch Day Length station: the backyard in daylight above an empty Hours of daylight chart, with the question Which season has the longest days and four season choices.
