Science:

Class: Science	Period:4,5	Date:11/5 -6
Standard: MS-ESS2-6.  Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates.
Objectives: Students will identify patterns of temperature based on latitude by completing worksheet at 80% or greater

Introduction/Do Now Activity:_____https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2ynNmclJgEOTGNIeE10MGFvTkU/view Students look at the image and answer the question - which part of the Earth do they think receives the most and least solar energy and why________________________Time: __10____ mins

Learning Segment 1 Activity:__students develop their own experiment to answer the question_________________________ Time: __25____ mins Students will explore the relationships between latitude, angle of the Sun, solar energy, and  temperature. In groups of 4 to 5, students will design investigation to answer the question, “What effect does the sun’s angle have on the temperature of the Earth’s surface?” http://www.education.com/science-fair/article/angle-of-light-radiation/

Learning Segment 2 Activity:_____students will  and carry out the above investigation and will identify dependent and independent variables. Students will record their observations in their science notebooks and develop an explanation for their claims. _______________________ Time: __30____ mins

Learning Segment 3 Activity:___________________________ Time: ____25__ mins
