robert week 2 effect on the earth from the sun by Rebecca Mc Hugh https://padlet.com/rebecca_mchugh25/2wioldq0v5us en-us 2017-11-09 13:34:17 UTC 2025-11-18 21:54:40 UTC hello@padlet.com what i learned rebecca_mchugh25 https://padlet.com/rebecca_mchugh25/2wioldq0v5us/wish/205253813 today we learned about the effect on the earth on plants during different times of the year
we learned about the tilt on the earths axis and how the sun covers a certain angle of the earth during summer and winter how they change
we learned this using a small mini earth and a cup, we also used a small torch to shine it on various sides of the earth to see how the sun shines on our earth and how it can span across certain countries
we also came to test out the area covered by light and darkness through using a plastic cup and covering a certain angle so then we could clearly see how some countries in summers were covered in light while at the same time others were covered in darkness and how the days are longer in summer due to the tilt on the earths axis]]> 2017-11-09 13:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rebecca_mchugh25/2wioldq0v5us/wish/205253813 what worked well rebecca_mchugh25 https://padlet.com/rebecca_mchugh25/2wioldq0v5us/wish/205253907 i think  the experiment worked well as we came up with different solutions as a group testing out how the sun would shine differently on the earth and attempted to calculate how many hours of daylight there would be
this experiment worked very well as it made the class very interesting and engaging and would be a great idea to use with students in a class environment]]> 2017-11-09 13:35:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rebecca_mchugh25/2wioldq0v5us/wish/205253907 what i need to improve on rebecca_mchugh25 https://padlet.com/rebecca_mchugh25/2wioldq0v5us/wish/205253969 i think i need to improve on my understanding of this topic before beginning to teach it as i fee l i have a poor content knowledge of this area and need a deeper understanding of this before teaching to a class, i also think i need to also come up with my own creative approach on how to teach this topic as it is a new area in the junior certificate and i think a lot of students would struggle to understand this]]> 2017-11-09 13:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rebecca_mchugh25/2wioldq0v5us/wish/205253969 what i would like to try rebecca_mchugh25 https://padlet.com/rebecca_mchugh25/2wioldq0v5us/wish/205254025 i would like to try this with a class and also use different materials to attempt to explain how the earths tilt affects the amount of daylight hours and nighttime hours at different points of the year]]> 2017-11-09 13:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rebecca_mchugh25/2wioldq0v5us/wish/205254025
