Scale
Scale Description 4
Through independent work beyond what was taught in class, students could (examples include, but are not limited to):
research current and past earth and sun conditions.
investigate causes and possible solutions for global climate change.
compare and contrast the patterns in the organization and distribution of matter in the sun, earth, moon system.
compare and contrast different solar events and their impact on earth. 3
understand how the motions of the sun, stars and planets as observed from Earth relate to the motions of the Earth and other planets in space.
understand how the movement and position of Earth influences life on Earth.
be able to differentiate between astronomy and astrology. 2
determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other astronomy specific words and phrases relating to the Earth, Sun and Moon
illustrate the patterns of distribution of matter in the sun, earth, moon system.
list the physical properties of the Earth, Sun and Moon.
describe the key parts of the Earth, Sun and Moon System 1
show the patterns of distribution of matter in the sun, earth, moon system.
select from a list the physical properties of the sun, earth and moon.
list the key parts of the structure of earth, sun and moon.

5. Questions to answer with Data Sheet B
Data sheet B: Why does the length of day vary?

6. What is the total size of the rectangle above? (ALL COLORS) 1” 2” 3” 4” 5”
What is the total size of the rectangle above? (ALL COLORS)
1” + 2” + 3” + 4” + 5” = 15”
What percentage of the rectangle is the BLUE section?
3”/15” = 1/5 = 20%
The RED section?
5”/15” = 1/3 = 33%
The red and yellow section combined.
(5”+ 4”) / 15” = 9/15 = 3/5 = 60%

7. Data sheet B You need to be measuring for: Latitude length of day (x)
length of night (y)
total path length (x+y)
percent of 24 hours that are in daylight x/(x+y)
13 different latitudes

8. Percentage in daylight

9. What is happening to the Earth’s climate
Evidence for Reasoning
Claim(s)
(Answer to question)
Reason/rationale for answer
1. The average global temperature is rising at an unprecedented rate
2. Droughts/Floods and other weather phenomena are becoming much more severe
3. Polar Ice Caps are melting
4. Ocean temperatures are increasing at an alarming rate
5. Sea levels are rising
6. Ecosystems are collapsing
The Earth’s climate is becoming warmer at an unprecedented rate
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing at a rate unseen before the industrial revolution. This gas is trapping the Sun’s heat as IR radiation that is re-radiated back to Earth’s surface as heat.

11. Questions Are the two globes oriented in the same way?
Do they both have the same hemisphere pointed toward the sun?
Which hemisphere is that?
What do you think adding more light rays would do to temperature? (Data A)
What do you think adding more hours of those light rays would do to temperature? (Data B)
What season do you think it is in the Northern Hemisphere?
What season do you think it is in the Southern Hemisphere?
What would the effect be if the earth was on the other side of its orbit?
Meaning that the southern hemisphere was tilted toward the sun?
How do you change which hemisphere is tilted toward the sun?
