Sun and the Season

Introduction

Hello students! I need your help! Researchers have been studying the earth and the seasons for a long time but they need help. Today you will be using online resources to determine how the Sun and the positioning of Earth changes the seasons. As a fellow researcher I am counting on you!

Task

Using the resources available I want you to make a table with images that represents the positioning of the sun and earth and what season corresponds with them. Then in the table I want a brief explanation as to why that positioning makes the climate where we live at that time that season.

Process

Plan: Make a table with 4 rows and 3 columns and label each row after one of the 4 seasons. Then after insert an image of the positioning of the earth and sun during that season into the second column. In the third column write a 2-3 sentence explanation of why the sun being in that position makes it that season.

 

Do: Use the links provided to understand why the seasons occur when they do and cite whichever source you use.

Review: In the final column write a few sentences that explains what you learned about each season and describe why the image relates to it. After you are done with that please submit a digital copy of your assignment on canvas.

Conclusion

After the completion of the assignment please submit your findings online through canvas only after you have gone through and made sure that it looks professional so that when the future researchers look at the data it is well made for them. Please also share your findings with your family and friends as they will be eager to learn!
