 Plan Earth-Sun Relationship

Subject(s): Earth-Sun Relationshio Date: 9/9117

Teacher: Rqgelio Gaeta School: CSUDH

1. Objective (What the topic of discussion and reason for learning?)

is
o Describe the effect that the Sun angle has on the amount of solar radiation a place
receives.
o Explain why the intensity and duration of solar radiation vary with latitude.
o Describe the significance of these special parallels of latitude: Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of
Capricorn, Arctic Circle, Antarctic Circle, and Equator.
o List the dates and characteristics of the solstices and equinoxes.
o Calculate the noon Sun angle for any places on Earth on any day.
o Explain why middle- to high- latitude places experience relatively large changes in
seasonal temperatures compared to the tropics.
o Calculate the latitude of a place using the noon Sun angle.

2. Learning Target(s): (What will students know & be able to do as a result of this lesson?)
o Students will know what the noon Sun angles are and how to calculate it.
o Determine the amount of solar radiation that hits the Earth every season.
o Learn what causes seasons to occur on the Earth.
o Determine the percentages of solar radiation from the different latitudes.
o Know what Analemma is and how to use it to determine the latitude of the noon Sun.
o To be able to use noon Sun angles to determine latitude.

3. Relevance/Rationale: (Why are the outcomes of this lesson important in tlte real wortat How
will it benefit students to know this topic?)
o This lesson is important for students to know the mechanisms into why seasons occur.
o lt also applies the knowledge they gained from doing latitude and longitude work.
o To learn the different parallel of latitudes and their relationship to the different seasons.
4. Formative Assessment Criteria for success: (How will you & your students know if they have
successfully met the outcomes? By what criteria will they be assessed?)
o They'll be assessed by doing lab work on globes or atlas maps.

6 Activitiesfiasks: (What learning experiences will students engage in?)

o They'll be using rulers, protractors and calculators on the globe/maps to find the
different solar radiation intensities on the Earth's surface during each season.

6. Resources/Materials: (What texts, digital resources, & Materials will be ,t"d ,'" tt'ir l"so.?)
o Lab Book
o Metric ruler
o Protractor
o Globe or world map
o Colored pencils
o Calculator
o Large rubber band or string
