Lesson Objective

hypothesis for field study,

Identify that nuclear reactions take
place in the sun, producing heat and
light.
Explain how only a tiny fraction of
light energy from the sun is
transformed to heat energy on
Earth.
Describe how the sun heats
Earth’s surfaces unequally.
Describe the relationship between the
warming of the atmosphere of the
Earth by the Sun and convection
within the atmosphere
Demonstrate understanding of
how to use tools and
equipment for science fair
Analyze the flow of water
between the elements of a
watershed, including surface
features (lake, streams, rivers,
and wetlands)

Albedo and specific heat
HEATING EARTH
SURFACES - Activity 55
1. Elicit student ideas about the
heating and cooling of earth
surfaces using Student Sheet
55.1.
2. Investigation
Students are to complete an
experiment to determine how the
sun’s energy heats different earth
surfaces and how they then cool.
3. Follow-Up
The class discusses the results of
the experiments.
4. Students revisit their earlier
ideas about the heating and
cooling of land and water.
5. Answer and discuss Analysis
questions together
Conduct experiment comparing the
heating and cooling of land and water
(using sand and water)
Collect project board rough
drafts.

Prepare for Field Study next
week. Purpose of field study
is to determine health of
Huron River at Proud Lake
recreation area. We will also
take a hike through Proud
Marsh and collect soil (and
water if available) to
compare to the river area.
Present students with list of
data collection ideas. They
are to select one per group
of 3 (2 the least & 4 the
most) The smaller the group
the better for participation.
th
6 grade will be collecting ph
data on water.
th
7 will use the Green Water
Kits
th
8 grade will use the Black
kit.
Show video of area.
Purpose of research.
Students to create data tables and
practice with using equipment.
Collect travel brochures
