ISN 121 Seasons Notes
Objective: I can understand that Earth rotates on a tilted axis and orbits the sun and how that causes day and night, seasons
Homework:
On ISN 121 (under your notes from today) answer questions 1-6 from page 689 in your textbook. Use full sentences, IQIA.

5. The Earth:
Tis the Season

6. Earth's Rotation
Earth turns on its axis of rotation as it orbits the Sun. The axis of rotation is an imaginary line running through the center of Earth.

7. What Causes Day and Night?
Sunlight shines on half of Earth at any given time, producing daytime due to the Earth’s rotation.

8. What is a Season?
A season is a pattern of temperature changes and other weather trends over the course of a year.

9. What Causes Earth's Seasons?
The tilt of the Earth’s axis causes the seasons due to changes in the amount of sunlight which results in changes in temperature.

10. Seasonal Vocabulary
Equinox – sunlight shines equally on the northern and southern hemispheres.
Solstice – the area of sunlight is at a maximum in one hemisphere and a minimum in the other hemisphere.

11. Autumnal Equinox Half of the sunlight is in each hemisphere.
The strongest sunlight is on the equator.
Marks the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

12. Winter Solstice
Less than half of the Northern Hemisphere is in sunlight.
The strongest sunlight is south of the equator, so the Southern Hemisphere grows warmer.
Marks the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

13. Vernal Equinox Half of the sunlight is in each hemisphere.
The strongest sunlight is on the equator.
Marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and fall in the Southern Hemisphere.

14. Summer Solstice
Less than half of the Southern Hemisphere is in sunlight.
The strongest sunlight is north of the equator, so the Northern Hemisphere grows warmer.
Marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere.

15. The Earth's Seasons

16. What Affects Temperature?
The angle of sunlight affects temperature.
Winter : Sun appears low in the sky (long shadows).
Spring and Fall: Sun appears higher in the sky (medium shadows).
Summer: Sun appears high in the sky (short shadows).

17. Angle of Sunlight

18. What Affects Temperature?
Day length affects temperature.
The longer the days = higher the temperature.
The shorter the days = lower the temperature.

19. Friday, June 10th Entry Task

During which phase does the moon seem to disappear?
What happens to the moon during the first 2 weeks?
What becomes dark during a lunar eclipse?

Homework:
ISN 123 Finish Flip Book
Please have on desk:
20.1 Review questions (ISN 121)

20. The Moon's Phases

21. What is a Moon Phase?
A lunar phase is the pattern of lit and unlit portions of the Moon that you see from Earth.
The Moon takes 27.3 days to go through all the lunar phases.

22. Steps in the Moon's Phases: Week 1
The cycle begins with a NEW MOON.
WAXING CRESCENTS occur during the first week as sunlight falls on the near side of the Moon.

23. Steps in the Moon's Phases: Week 2
3. As more and more of the Moon's near side becomes sunlit, the Moon appears to grow from WAXING CRESCENT to FIRST QUARTER to WAXING GIBBOUS.

24. Steps in the Moon's Phases: Week 3
4. Once a FULL MOON is reached, it begins to shrink from FULL to WANING GIBBOUS.

25. Steps in the Moon's Phases: Week 4
5. As less and less of the near side is in sunlight, the Moon appears to shrink from WANING GIBBOUS to THIRD QUARTER to WANING CRESCENT and back to NEW.

27. Eclipses

28. What is an Eclipse?
An eclipse happens when the moon blocks the Sun or the Earth's shadow falls on the moon.

29. Eclipse Vocabulary
Umbra: like an umbrella, makes a dark shadow; means shadow.
Penumbra: a partial or lighter shadow.
