June 2026 at home quest

 

Celebrate the Summer Solstice! Last month, we asked you to track the phases of the moon. In June, we are focusing on the sun. You can track your shadow throughout the month to earn 5,000 points. As we move towards the summer solstice, track your shadow throughout the month. Pick the same time each day to measure the length of your shadow. Complete at least four measurements. What do you notice about your shadow throughout the month? Why do you think this is happening?

 

Send us your observations to natureswap@rwpzoo.org to earn your points.
