media query font size not recognized?

On stage 6 lesson 8 with media queries the second challenge question is not working, I specify the h1 font size and it rejects my answer, I believe I'm putting in the right code, please clarify.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background: tomato; 
    color: white; 
  }
}


@media  (max-width: 768px) {
  .title {font-size: 1.4rem;}
  .h1 {font-size: 5rem;}
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

You just haven't wrote the H1 class in. Instead of .h1 it should be .main-heading

The class you wrote is called "main-heading" not "h1"

That should do the trick.

Thanks for the tip, didn't work though. I thought the same thing but it kicks back a message saying "make sure you're targeting 'h1' within the media query" message.

Then they probably just mean

h1{font-size:5rem;}

Ah, I missed that the media queries should be:

@media screen and (min-width: 1020px){ }

and

@media screen and (min-width: 768px){ }

That Must work now! haha.
