1. Happy Thursday! BELL Work (6 min.) 1.Write down HW in planner. 2.Set up today’s pages (40-41) **Get your textbook from the back and turn to page 183. Read the paragraph about the Midnight Sun and answer the question below under your IN: isn’t the area in the photo very warm even though the Sun never sets north of the Arctic circle on June 21 st / 22 nd ? Why isn’t the area in the photo very warm even though the Sun never sets north of the Arctic circle on June 21 st / 22 nd ?

2. Review how Earth’s tilted axis causes the seasons and number of daylight hours to change throughout Earth’s revolution. Work on elements of Science Fair project (if finished early) Level 4 I CAN Evaluate what would happen if Earth’s axial tilt changed, test the idea (with a model) that no matter which lunar phase we see from Earth, half the moon is always lit, and figure out a way to determine what conditions would cause a neap tide or spring tide to occur. Level 3 Explain the impact of objects in space on each other including: 1. the Sun on the Earth including seasons and gravitational attraction. 2. the Moon on the Earth, including phases, tides, and eclipses, and the relative position of each body for every event. Level 2 I CAN Describe why the seasons change, show the relative positions on the Sun, Earth, and Moon during a lunar OR solar eclipse, and describe the relationship between the Sun and Moon during Earth’s spring tides and neap tides Level 1 With help, I can explain why the moon changes phases and causes tides.

3. Quick Reminder: Scientists’ Expectations dignityrespect ngageparticipation on timeprepared standard excellence

4. Science FAIR!  Remember:  Data should be in a table.  Graph should show data.  Abstract needs to be on your board (15 points)  This is a BIG grade (Final project due next Tuesday!) Abstract

5. Reminder – Get grade tracking sheet signed!! I’ll check tomorrow for 10 Points 11/20 Solar system quiz 11/20 data analysis / conclusion

6. Webquest p. 39 – Check your answers The idea that the Northern Hemisphere on Earth is closer to the Sun when it is tilted that way in Summer is false because it’s the ANGLE of sunlight NOT THE DISTANCE that causes temperature differences. Earth’s axis always points to the North Star (Polaris). Seasons change because the Earth Revolves. At the equator there are no seasons because each day the Sun strikes at about the same angle.

7. Review Webquest – Check your answers June Solstice September Equinox December Solstice Summer Winter Fall Spring Winter Summer length of day and night would be equal everywhere and there would not be any seasons. Temperatures would stay constant. Not much difference the equinoxes but at the Solstices icecaps would melt and daylight and darkness would increase.

8. Lesson Review – Through – p.41 Open textbook to p. 187. Complete with partner and attach to p. 41 in your notebook. WHEN you finish – - Update grade tracking sheet - Work on Science fair project (show me that you’ve finished the above)

Explain what happens to the number of daylight hours in the Southern Hemisphere when the Northern Hemisphere experiences Winter.
