FIELD TRIP OPTION:
Depending on the time of year (and the type of weather), there may be a pretty decent sized meteor shower. Do some research to see if there is a meteor shower going on some night that you can go and watch for an hour or so. But be sure to find out when the peak is, or your time will be spent picking out constellations instead of seeing "shooting stars". Or, alternatively, if you live near an Observatory, maybe think about taking a visit to one.
