100 To represent something too big to see or experience on our level. What are scientific models used for?	100 Earth's Tilt on its axis What is the reason for seasons?	100 What is Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring State Earth’s four seasons.	100 What is the Earth's rotation on its axis What about the S-E-M system creates a day?	100 What is the imaginary line that passes through a planet from pole to pole. What is an axis?
200 a physical representation of a phenomena with correct proportions. What is a scale model?	200 The Earth's northern axis is pointed TOWARD the sun How is summer created?	200 What is the earth is neither tilted toward or away from the sun. It is equally recieving sun's rays What about the S-E-M system creates spring?	200 What is 24 hours How long does it take Earth to rotate on its axis?	200 What is the motion of the Earth spinning on its axis; one rotation is called a day. Define rotation
300 Sun-Earth-Moon Rank the following objects from largest to smallest: Moon, Sun, Earth	300 The Earth's northern axis is pointed AWAY from the sun How is winter created?	300 What is the earth is neither tilted toward or away from the sun. It is equally receiving sun's rays What about the S-E-M system creates fall?	300 What is Earth's revolution on its orbit. What about the S-E-M creates a year?	300 What is the motion of the Earth moving around the Sun; one revolution is called a year. Define revolution
400 Earth--Tennis Ball Sun--Basketball Moon--Marble Using a tennis ball, basketball, and a marble, Correctly identify which can be used for the Earth, The Sun, and the Moon	400 Sun's angle is more direct during summer and less direct during winter Compare the angles of the sun in winter vs. summer.	400 What is the Earth would always be in the same season. What would happen to Earth’s seasons if Earth’s axis wasn’t tilted?	400 What is 365 1/4 days How long does it take the Earth to revolve completely around the Sun?	400 What is a regular, repeating path that an object in space follows around another object. Define orbit
500 No, because the sun is larger than the Earth and that model would not be to correct scale. Would a model of the Sun and Earth be to scale if the Sun were smaller than the Earth? Explain your answer.	500 The sun's rays are less direct; the distance the Sun's rays has to travel is farther. Explain how it is colder in the winter if Earth is closer to the Sun.	500 What is the Earth's axis is tilted toward the sun, so the rays have a shorter distance to travel to heat the Earth. Explain how it is warmer in the summer if Earth is farther away from the Sun.	500 What is the Moon's revolution around the Earth What about the S-E-M system creates a month?	500 Pick up an object and model it rotating and revolving.
