  • apparent motion - something that looks like it’s moving

    • direct sunlight - when the Sun shines directly on something, heating it up more, than if it shines at an angle 

    • season - a division of the year

    • rotation - the spinning motion of the Earth on its tilted axis. Earth rotates 1 time every 24 hours.

    • celestial body - a natural object that is located outside of the Earth’s atmosphere such as the moon, Sun, stars, and other planets

    • axis - an imaginary straight line passing through the North Pole, the center of the Earth, and the South Pole. The Earth rotates on its axis.

    • tilt - a slanted position

    • revolution - the Earth’s orbit path around the Sun; Earth revolves about once every 365 days

    • orbit - the path an object takes when it revolves around another object

    • hemisphere - half of the Earth, usually divided into northern and southern halves by the equator

    • poles - the places on Earth’s surface that Earth’s imaginary axis passes through

    • equator - an imaginary line around the Earth that separates the northern and southern hemispheres

    • moon phase - moon phases change as the moon orbits the Earth. As it orbits the Earth, we see different parts of the moon lit.

    • shadow - a dark area or shape that is created when an object comes between rays of light and a surface

    1) Mind Movie - after reading the problem carefully, I will ask myself: what scientific facts are important to this story? (jot/underline important information!)

    2) Unpacking the Question - after reading the question carefully, I will ask myself: what scientific facts is this question asking me to think about? (keep jotting/underlining if it helps!)

    3) Text Features - now that I've read the problem and the question, I will go back to the text features in the story and think: what scientific evidence is going to help me answer the question?

    4) Double-Check: Before the timer goes off, I will ask: did I read every word and follow every direction?

    • The Sun’s apparent motion is actually caused by Earth’s movement. The sun appears to move, but relative to the Earth and the other planets, it is stationary. Earth’s movement is responsible for how shadows change.

    • Shadows are created when an object blocks a light source. Shadows outside change throughout the day because of Earth’s movement. 

    • The Earth makes a complete rotation around its axis every 24 hours, causing our shadows to change throughout the day.

    • We see the longest shadows at sunrise and sunset and the shortest around noon (midday) when there is direct sunlight above us.

    • When we receive the most direct sunlight, we experience summer. When we receive the least direct sunlight, we experience winter.

    • The equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into two halves horizontally, the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. The equator receives more direct sunlight than the Earth’s poles each year. This creates warmer climates near the equator (and colder climates near the North and South poles).  

    • Seasons are characterized by their temperature, which is directly related to the amount of sunlight a location receives during that time of year.

    • Earth’s revolution around the sun (every year, approximately) and its tilted axis are responsible for the seasons we experience. Different parts of the Earth receive a different amount of daylight hours.

    • In December, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, we experience winter. In June, when it is tilted toward the Sun, we experience summer. The Southern Hemisphere experiences its seasons opposite the Northern Hemisphere.

    • Moon phases are caused by the position of the moon relative to the Sun and the Earth.

    • The moon reflects the Sun’s light.
     
    • The moon continuously cycles through the same phases in a predictable order. The moon phases follow a predictable cycle because the moon is revolving around the Earth.

    • It takes 29.5 days, or about one month, for the moon to complete one revolution around the Earth.

The hottest sunlight on Earth is the direct sunlight. ]]> 2022-01-10 19:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/josephkind1/6k83f3m26cwgi33h/wish/1984657738 LESSON 10: The Solar System josephkind1 https://padlet.com/josephkind1/6k83f3m26cwgi33h/wish/2005855038 Key Takeaways:

    • Other planets in the solar system share common behaviors with Earth.
      • All of the other planets in our solar system rotate on their axes and revolve around the Sun. Planets have different speeds of their movements, so their days and years are different amounts of time than on Earth.
      • Some other planets have moons that revolve around them like Earth’s moon does.

    Because of our tilt, and because of Earth's revolution around the sun, some days receive more direct sunlight than other days where we live in the Northern Hemisphere. 

    In position 1, the Northern Hemisphere receives more direct sunlight in a day - that means we are in summer.

    In position 3, however, the Northern Hemisphere receives less direct sunlight each day - that means we are in winter.]]>     2022-01-21 22:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/josephkind1/6k83f3m26cwgi33h/wish/2005857218     VIDEO: Seasons and the Sun josephkind1 https://padlet.com/josephkind1/6k83f3m26cwgi33h/wish/2005858614 2022-01-21 22:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/josephkind1/6k83f3m26cwgi33h/wish/2005858614 DIAGRAM: The Solar System josephkind1 https://padlet.com/josephkind1/6k83f3m26cwgi33h/wish/2005859462 2022-01-21 22:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/josephkind1/6k83f3m26cwgi33h/wish/2005859462 DIAGRAM: Earth's seasons josephkind1 https://padlet.com/josephkind1/6k83f3m26cwgi33h/wish/2005860555 2022-01-21 22:12:26 UTC https://padlet.com/josephkind1/6k83f3m26cwgi33h/wish/2005860555 SCHOLAR WORK: showing full thinking josephkind1 https://padlet.com/josephkind1/6k83f3m26cwgi33h/wish/2005868134 Shout-out to Arihdni!
