Sunlight and Warm Air
Students examine the different ways heat can be felt. For this radiation and conduction lesson, students recognize that the sun radiates heat. Students conduct three experiments to find how the sun warms the Earth and how that heat is...
Curated OER
Seasons on Earth
Students engage in a multimedia study of the seasons in relation to the sun's angle of incidence on the Earth as it is tilted on its axis. They interpret satellite maps of the world as they show seasonal changes in plant life.
Curated OER
Sunlight & Soil
In this soil condition worksheet, learners record the soil and air temperature as well as the day length and cloud cover in a small outside area for two weeks. They complete 5 short answer questions and draw graphs of the data.
Curated OER
Daylight
For this daylight worksheet, students compare the amount of daylight at for different locations around the world. Students use the data to create a graph.
