Description
There are many aspects of the Earth-Sun-Moon cycle that can be difficult for students to visualize. Included among these are how daylight changes depending on latitude. This activity intends to provide students with actual data from different locations on Earth at different latitudes that can provide an obvious visual demonstrating this scientific fact.
Included in this assignment is a map of the Earth with major latitude lines, daylight data for 8 locations, latitude data for both northern and southern hemispheres, and simple set of instructions for students. This lab should take between 45-90 minutes.
