Why Earth Has Seasons Lab
Why does Earth experience different seasons? In this lab students will record the temperature using different angles of insolation. Students will use a globe and lamp to discover that light strikes the earth at different angles. As the angle increases to 90 the temperature will also increase.
After completing this lab students will write a lab report which is included with this document. I also attached the rubric I use to grade their lab report.
