1. Bellwork What sea is located at (15N,75W)?
What three countries fall on the 105W line of longitude?
What state is at (45N, 120W)?
What country is Northeast of Canada?

2. Agenda Bellwork: Reviewing Map Elements Notes: How Earth Moves
HW: Graphic Organizer
If you haven’t made up Quiz 1.1 you need to!
Tomorrow: start in class project on Earth’s Movement

3. Earth’s Movement Why are there 365 days in a year?
Earth has the perfect orbit for humans!
Gizmo's Birthday

4. How does the Earth move?
Revolution: Earth travels on an orbit around the sun
Takes 365 1/4th days
Earth revolves around the sun, which causes
The length of our year
Our seasons: as the Earth moves, we get 4 seasons
Why do we have 4 seasons?

5. How does the Earth move?
Rotation: The Earth spins on its axis every 24 hours
Axis = invisible line connecting North and South pole
Earth’s axis tilts at 23.5 degrees
Earth’s rotation causes day and night
Earth turns on its axis

6. How does the Earth move?
Tilt: Earth’s axis is tilted at a 23.5 degree angle
Causes night and day to be longer or shorter
Causes the 4 seasons

7. Graphic Organizer - Practice

8. Tomorrow Hemispheres – North, South Equinox, Solstice

9. Bellwork Get out HW from two nights ago to check
Standard: also have out your Guided Reading Questions from yesterday

10. Agenda Bellwork: Recap and Catch Up
Notes: Earth’s Movements (finish up)
Foldable
HW: Finish Foldable
Honors: Prep for In class project tomorrow
Groups of 5, 6 groups
2 Rotation, 2 Revolution, 2 Tilt
1 Posterboard, markers, paper, etc

11. Earth-Sun Relationships
Two Hemispheres
Hemi = half
Sphere = circle
Northern Hemisphere = above equator
Southern Hemisphere = below equator
As Earth revolves, sun’s energy hits each hemisphere differently
= opposite seasons

12. Earth-Sun Relationships
4 seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall)
As Earth revolves, have different amounts of sun’s energy hitting the area
Summer Solstice = June 21st
The closest the Earth’s North Pole points toward sun, most energy on Northern Hemisphere
Winter Solstice = December 21st
The farthest the Earth’s North Pole points toward sun, least energy on Northern Hemisphere

13. Earth-Sun Relationships
Amount of energy received affects temperature and length of day
Shortest day on Winter Solstice
Longest day on Summer Solstice
Equinox = equal energy points (2)
Vernal Equinox = March 21
Autumnal Equinox = Sept 22
Equal Day/Night

14. Earth Sun Relationship
Simulation

15. Agenda Check HW (3rd period: chart) Review solstices and equinoxes
Foldable
HW: Finish Foldable
Quiz 1.2 on Friday!

16. Foldable 1) Fold 4 sheets of paper and staple
2) Give your foldable a title
3) Label each tab (Rotation, Revolution, Tilt)
4) Inside each tab, explain the movement of the Earth – use vocabulary
Rotation: axis
Revolution: orbit
Tilt: solstices and equinox
5) Draw a picture to explain
