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.

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

3. 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?

4. Why does Earth have seasons?
evidence
Claim(s)
Reason/rationale
From Side A Tuesday
From Side B yesterday
The earth has seasons because
My reasoning is that
Explanation:
(evidence) supports (my claim) because (reason/rationale)

5. Why does Earth have seasons?
evidence
Claim(s)
Reason/rationale
Some locations on earth receive sunlight at a direct angle, some at an indirect angle
The amount of energy per day at a latitude decreases dramatically as latitude moves from 0-90
The earth has seasons because during certain times during the year, different hemispheres receive different amounts of direct and indirect sunlight
the tilt of the earth’s axis exposes areas to more and less hours of direct and indirect sunlight as the earth revolves around the sun.
Explanation:
(evidence) supports (my claim) because (reason/rationale)

5. The sun can only ever be directly overhead if you are within the tropic (tropic of Cancer and tropic of Capricorn) lines.
tropic of Cancer - north, Capricorn - south

tropic of Cancer - north, Capricorn - south

14. Top 5 things to know about the motion of Earth…
4. Seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere.
Northern hemisphere summer: July
Southern hemisphere summer: December
Northern hemisphere winter: December
Southern hemisphere winter: July

15. Top 5 things to know about the motion of Earth…
3. Because of earth’s axial tilt, there are some areas of earth (above about 66∘ N and S) that receive constant daylight and constant darkness during their summer and winter.
What do you think those latitude lines are called?
Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle

18. Top 5 things to know about the motion of Earth…
2. The seasons (have NOTHING to do with the position or distance of earth relative to the sun) are caused by the tilt of earth’s axis which causes light to hit the earth at an indirect or direct angle.
Earth is, on average 93,000,000 miles (150 million km) away from the sun, and its distance from the sun varies by about 3%
Perihelion (closest to sun)
– 147 million km - January 3
Aphelion (farthest from sun)
– 152 million km – July 4

19. Top 5 things to know about the motion of Earth…
1. earth’s rotation causes the sun (and stars) to appear to move across the sky. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west because we spin counterclockwise.
