Subject:
Science (9 - 12)
Title:
Solar Angles and the Unequal Heating of the Earth
Description:
In this activity, students will model how the directness of sunlight affects the heating of Earth’s atmosphere at the equator. Students will demonstrate that Earth’s shape has a direct effect on the unequal heating of the atmosphere. The students will discover how the tilt of Earth’s axis affects the amount of sunlight that reaches different regions of the earth’s surface thus causing different seasons. This lesson results from the ALEX Resource Gap Project.
