Name Learning frm sunrise and Sunset Times! : What can we learn abut hw the lengths f daylight hurs change ver a year by lking at the sunrise and sunset times fr the nd f each mnth f 01 in New Yrk City? Graph The Data! Step 1: Title the graph (tell exactly what the graph is!) Step : Label the x-axis (with the independent variable) Step 3 Label the y-axis crrectly Step 4: Number the x and y-axes in the crrect scale. Step 5: Plt yur data pints. Graph the sunrise times and the sunset times in MILITARY TIME. Be sure t make a legend t distinguish sunrise and sunset. Step 6: Draw a line t cnnect the pints. Step 7: On the Graph- shade in the daylight hurs in light blue; shade in the nighttime hurs in gray. Graph Title: Y- Axis Title: X- Axis Title:
1. : Make 3 bservatins abut the length f daylight hurs thrughut the year. Be VERY SPECIFIC!. Make a : What cnnectin can yu make between the daily temperature and the length f day? 3. the Equinxes: During an equinx, the Earth's Nrth and Suth ples are nt tilted tward r away frm the Sun. The length f the day is the same at all pints n Earth's surface s day and night are f almst equal length (1 hurs). a. Find these dates using the graph yu created. Lk fr the mnths where the sunset and sunrise are clsest t 1 hurs apart. b. Then label them n the graph as Equinx 1 and Equinx. Equinx 1: * Label this n yur graph. Equinx : * Label this n yur graph. What causes an Equinx?
4. the Slstices: Slstices are the times when the tilt f the Earth's axis is mst inclined tward r away frm the Sun. The winter slstice is the day when the Sun is lwest in the sky at nn. This is the shrtest day f the year in nrthern hemisphere. The summer slstice is when the Earth s axis is inclined twards the Sun. This is the lngest day f the year. a. Find these days using the graph. Lk fr the mnths where sunset and sunrise are CLOSEST tgether. This is the Winter Slstice. b. Lk fr the mnths where sunset and sunrise are FARTHEST apart. This is the Summer Slstice. c. Then label them n the graph crrectly. Winter Slstice: * Label this n yur graph. Summer Slstice: * Label this n yur graph. What causes a Slstice? Make a : During which seasn (summer r winter) are the Sun s rays hitting the Nrthern Hemisphere mre directly? What cnnectin can yu make between the seasn which gets the mst direct Sun s rays and the daily temperature? Using evidence frm this activity, explain why it is warm in the summer in the NORTHERN Hemisphere.

Learning frm sunrise and Sunset Times! TEACHER NOTE: THIS ASSIGNMENT IS MEANT FOR A CLASS IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE! 1. : Make 3 bservatins abut the length f daylight hurs thrughut the year. Be VERY SPECIFIC! Accept mst answers but push students t make bservatins abut the lngest days/shrtest days and the mnths they ccur..make a : What cnnectin can yu make between the daily temperature and the length f day? The lnger the daylight hurs, the warmer the temperatures. 3. the Equinxes: During an equinx, the Earth's Nrth and Suth ples are nt tilted tward r away frm the Sun. The length f the day is the same at all pints n Earth's surface s day and night are f almst equal length (1 hurs). a. Find these dates using the graph yu created. Lk fr the mnths where the sunset and sunrise are clsest t 1 hurs apart. b. Then label them n the graph as Equinx 1 and Equinx. Equinx 1:MARCH * Label this n yur graph. Equinx : SEPTEMBER * Label this n yur graph. What causes an Equinx? The equatr is pinting directly at the suns rays (Earth is nt tilted twards r away frm the Sun).
4. the Slstices: Slstices are the times when the tilt f the Earth's axis is mst inclined tward r away frm the Sun. The winter slstice is the day when the Sun is lwest in the sky at nn. This is the shrtest day f the year in nrthern hemisphere. The summer slstice is when the Earth s axis is inclined twards the Sun. This is the lngest day f the year. a. Find these days using the graph. Lk fr the mnths where sunset and sunrise are CLOSEST tgether. This is the Winter Slstice. b. Lk fr the mnths where sunset and sunrise are FARTHEST apart. This is the Summer Slstice. c. Then label them n the graph crrectly. Winter Slstice: DECEMBER * Label this n yur graph. Summer Slstice: JUNE * Label this n yur graph. What causes a Slstice? The earth is tilted farthest away r clsest twards the Sun. Make a : During which seasn (summer r winter) are the Sun s rays hitting the Nrthern Hemisphere mre directly? SUMMER What cnnectin can yu make between the seasn which gets the mst direct Sun s rays and the daily temperature? Summer gets mre direct rays and it is warmer. Using evidence frm this activity, explain why it is warm in the summer in the NORTHERN Hemisphere. Mre direct rays and lnger daylight hurs cause the temperatures t be warmer in summer in the Nrthern Hemisphere
