Key Themes: The Earth revolution around sun
In a Guangzhou graveyard, a secret tale is untold. Once a year, at a moment's hold, Shadow vanishes at a precious cue, For a fleeting few minutes, a chance so true. Where a treasure's rumored, beneath a tomb's clay, But this fleeting moment, a blink of fate, Is the only time to unlock its gate.
People gather, filled with eager delight, But among so many graves they stand, Lost and confused in a sea of stones.
To seek the riches, you must advance, At the right day, the right minute, don't be late, For the shadows disappear, and you must navigate. With shovels and maps, and hearts so bold, Assemble your team to seek the hidden gold, In those fleeting minutes, do your best. Find the treasure hidden if you dare.
You need to:
Find out where the treasure is. Please provide its rough coordinate (GPS 坐标，精确到分即可) and point it out in a map.
Explain why you think it's there with a clear model and solid evidence using model and CER template enclosed in this page.
Explanation = Claim (What you know) + Evidence (How you know it) + Reasoning (Your thought process)
Create a STEM experimental exploration report with maps to show your findings.
Cognitive skills: Asking Questions, Predicting/Hypothesizing, Planning and Carrying Out Investigations, Organizing and representing information, Modeling, Constructing an evidence-based explanation
