Seasons: Sun’s energy: assessment

Learning Material  |  Interactive Lesson




Description
Test your understanding of the heating effect of the Sun on Earth. Use interactive models to investigate this effect as Earth rotates on its axis and orbits around the Sun. Interpret these factors to answer questions. For example, use your interpretation of the models to answer questions about the Sun's heating effect during summer and winter. Once you've completed all the tasks you can view and print out an assessment report. This assessment object is one in a series of three objects.
Objective
1. Students relate the Earth’s rotation on a tilted axis and its revolution around the Sun to seasons.
2. Students relate the changing angle of the Sun’ energy striking Earth and its passage through the atmosphere, to the heating effect on Earth.
3. Students relate the changing angle of the Sun’s energy striking Earth to Earth’s rotation on a tilted axis and its revolution around the Sun.
