Complete Lab on Page 8 about the tilt of the Earth and the Sun's light.
Discuss:

Why some areas are brighter than others?

Do different areas of Earth receive different amounts of sunlight?

If areas receive less sunlight, how would that effect temperatures?

Are there other areas of the Earth warmer than others?

Discuss Differential Heating

Some areas are heated more than others.

Differential heating explains the ways sunlight heats the Earth's zones differently; depending on tilt, revolution around the sun and daily rotation.

Using a printed out map, have students mark where they believe the Earth would be warmer and cooler.
Discuss:

Why are some places warmer?

Why is the Earth warmer at the equator than the poles?

How does the Sun's energy cause convection currents in the atmosphere?

Do you think convection currents at the equator are like the ones at the Arctic Circle? Why/why not?

Brainstorm:
What you know and want to know about convection currents.
