Hi All,

This WebQuest

Outcome:  Students will understand how Earth’s tilt on its axis changes the length of daylight and creates the seasons.

Objectives students will use web resources to;

1:  Describe the relationship between the tilt of Earth's axis and its yearly orbit around the sun. a. Describe the yearly revolution (orbit) of Earth around the sun. b. Explain that Earth's axis is tilted relative to its yearly orbit around the sun.

2:  Explain how the relationship between the tilt of Earth's axis and its yearly orbit around the sun produces the seasons. a. Compare Earth’s position in relationship to the sun during each season. d. Use a drawing and/or model to explain that changes in the angle at which light from the sun strikes Earth, and the length of daylight, determine seasonal differences in the amount of energy received.

NOTE : A hard copy of the sections they need to research and complete was given in class but a copy can still be downloaded under the the task section

This will be 200 points and will count as an assessment grade.
