F-25
1. Find a spot outdoors where it is sunny for most of the day. You will need to
leave the sun stick there for at least 4 to 6 hours.
2. Set up your sun stick as directed by your teacher.
3. Place Student Sheet 72.1, “Shadow Observation Sheet,” on a firm surface and
place it in the sunny spot.
4. Place a compass on the direction circle on the Student Sheet, and line it up so
that the north arrow on the compass lines up with the arrow pointing north
on the Student Sheet.
5. Place the sun stick directly on the dark circle.
6. Make a line along the shadow from the stick that is the same length and in
the same direction as the shadow. Record the time of the observation next to
the line.
7. Each time you observe, record where the Sun is in the sky. Indicate whether it
is high or low and if it is in the east, south, or west.
8. Continue to make and record observations every hour or so for 4 to 6 hours.
If the paper isn’t large enough, use tape to attach more paper as needed.
9. Prepare a data table to record your observations.

Earth’s orbit is not really stretched out as in the drawing below. It is shown this waybecause when you look at a circle from the side and slightly above, this is what itlooks like.
The Sun is much larger than Earth, but is small in the diagram so that you willhave room to draw Earth’s position in each of the four seasons.

1. Check the statements below that you think say what the reading says.
Sometimes the exact words found in the reading are used. At other times,
other words may be used to communicate the same meaning.
a. Earth is closer to the Sun in December than it is in June.
b. In the United States, the Sun’s rays are least direct in December.
c. Only the Northern Hemisphere has seasons.
2. Check the statements below that you think represent the intended meaning of
the reading.
a. Rays from the Sun that hit Earth more directly heat Earth’s surface
more than less direct rays do.
b. The effects of Earth’s tilt are far more significant than the effects of
changes in distance from the Sun in determining the seasons.
c. If Earth were tilted even more, it would always be winter.
d. The orbit of Earth around the Sun is almost circular.
e. When the Northern Hemisphere has spring, the Southern
Hemisphere has fall.
3. Check the statements below that you agree with, and be ready to support your
choices with ideas from the reading and from your own knowledge.
a. If Earth were not tilted, the northern United States would usually
be just as warm as the southern United States.
b. Seasons become more extreme as you move toward either the
North or South Pole.
