Lesson 1 - Monday, Jan 19
Housekeeping: Both periods continued working on the INV#6 – SEASONAL LIGHT INTENSITY. B period collected data for Trial 3, which is the situation in which our model Earth is titled away from the model Sun at an angle of approx. -23 degrees. H period mapped the Trial 1, 2, & 3 data onto the Earth drawings and began analyzing it with our Research Question in mind: Can a consistently tilted Earth (axis tilt = 23.5 degrees) explain 1) the seasons, 2) days of 24-hour light and dark at the poles, and 3) the ‘opposite’ seasons experienced in the northern and southern hemispheres?
