  22. Moon Phases • Print out the following worksheet: • Activity worksheet • Click here to go to the lab • Take notes as you read. • Different Moon Phases create different tides as well as cause different eclipses.

  23. Spring and Neap Tides

  24. Solar Eclipse • Moon phase: New • Moon’s umbra (shadow) hits Earth’s surface and makes it look like the moon covers the sun • Look at picture below • Part of Sun seen: Corona • Look at Corona using polarized lenses (or eyes will be severely damaged). • Look at picture below

  25. Lunar Eclipse • Moon phase: Full • Moon passes into Earth’s umbra (shadow) • Look at picture below • Part of Moon seen: All of the Moon  has a reddish color • Look at picture below

  41. Station Models Read About It Practice Click on picture to decipher station models. • Click to read about station models.

  42. Earth’s Axis of Rotation Quick Facts: Axis of rotation is tilted 23.50 The tiltis the reason for the seasons. It takes 24 hours to complete one rotation. Rotation direction is counterclockwise that is why the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west.

  43. SEASONS Quick Facts: Summer: (Summer Solstice) June 21st First day of Summer Direct sun rays hit Tropic of Cancer (23.50 N) Longest day in N. Hemisphere No night above Arctic Circle (66.50 N) Fall/Autumn: (Autumnal Equinox) Sept. 23rd First day of Fall Direct sun rays hit the equator 12 hours of daylight/12 hours of night Winter: (Winter Solstice) December 21st First day of Winter Direct sun rays hit Tropic of Capricorn (23.50 S) Shortest day in N. Hemisphere No daylight above Arctic Circle (66.50 N) Spring: (Spring/Vernal Equinox) March 21st First day of Spring Direct sun rays hit the equator 12 hours of daylight/12 hours of night
