IMPORTANT: Please install the Google Extension Mote to Chrome - The extension will allow you to hear teacher feedback in your Google Classroom assignments.

Working our way back from the outer edges of our solar system, this week's focus is to see how the distance from the sun and tilt of the earth affect our earth temperature and seasons here on earth.

Complete Summer/Winter GIZMO assignment

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Learn what causes seasons.
Observe the tilt of Earth's axis and see why Sun rays hit locations at different angles in June and December.
Relate seasons to the duration and directness of sunlight.
Compare seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres.
Compare the intensity of seasonal changes at different latitudes.

Mr. Borg

Go to Google Classroom and complete the 'Static Electricity Experiment'. Use whatever materials that you have available at home, even if they are not listed on the experiment sheet. Just always remember to be safe and ask an adult for help if you need it!
Research and define the different sources of electricity. See if you can provide some examples of each source in your definition. You can complete this activity in a google doc if you would like! (HINT: There are six different sources that we will be talking about!)
