Sensational Season Lesson

All three grade 6 classes had a chance to do some observations with the district "Seasons" kit.  The students measured energy hitting different parts of the globes.  The globes were positioned on the desks to represent the relationship of the earth to the sun in all four seasons.  Mrs. Rawle measured and placed each station the same distance from the lamps representing the sun, so that the students would get an accurate reading.

Students used a heat sensitive pad with a probe to measure the amount of heat hitting the sensor. They then observed the light/energy on a sensor representing Utah in the Northern Hemisphere and Argentina in the Southern Hemisphere.
