Lesson Plan 11 2 15

The Sun affects the temperature of locations on Earth depending on the solar angle. The higher the solar angle the more intense the radiant energy. The lower the solar angle, the less intense the radiant energy is on a particular area. Longer daylight in the summer means more exposure to soalr radiation, and shorter daylight in the winder means less exposure to solar radiation. Student: You're right, I should have included that longer daylight in the summer means more exposure to solar radiation, leading to higher temperatures, and shorter daylight in the winter means less exposure to solar radiation, leading to lower temperatures. Thank you for the feedback! Steps to Complete: 23-24 Time Needed: 5 minutes Reflect

temperature of locations on Earth?


Patterns and/or Cause and Effect
Objective: SWBAT explain differences in the
average
temperatures of different locations on Earth
with evidence of sun distance and
Exemplar Response:
The Sun affects the temperature on Earth
depending on its solar angle. Weather is
different in various places in the world,
depending on where you are. Local weather
and climate is affected by latitude, which is
how far north or south a location is from the
equator. The reason that latitude affects
climate has to do with the relationship
between the Earth and Sun. When the solar
angle is at 90 degrees the temperature on
earth will be higher. When the solar angle is
not directly overhead at 30 degrees the
temperature is cooler. Smaller angles absorb
more energy, leaving less energy to reach the
surface. I know saw this in our investigation
with

Steps to Complete: 17-19


Time Needed: 10 minutes

Cause and Effect: Earths spherical shape


means that different areas of the planet
receive radiant energy from the Sun at
different solar angles. The higher the solar
angle, the more intense the radiant energy will
be on a particular area. The lower the solar
angle, the less intense the radiant energy will
be on a particular area.

Vocabulary to Include:
Solar angle, radiant energy, heat, absorb, ray,
radiation

IS it true that there is a shortest daylight
day, is every other location on Earth
having their shortest daylight day?
What effect will longer or shorter
daylight have on temperature?

These MIQs were chosen because they relate

Claim: The Sun affects the temperature of locations on Earth depending on the solar
angle. The higher the solar angle the more intense the radiant energy. The lower the solar
angle, the less intense the radiant energy is on a particular area.
Should add: Longer daylight in the summer means more exposure to soalr radiation, and
shorter daylight in the winder means less exposure to solar radiation
