Seasons Lab 11.30.11
1. Describe the changes in how the rays of light fell on the globe as you revolve around the lamp.
When the light hit the Earth, it meant summer and higher temperatures. In the areas in the shade, it meant cooler temperatures and winter.
2. Draw a diagram of the model showing the changing light.

3. Why was it important to maintain the tilt?
Because without the tilt, there would be no seasons. The equator would always be hot and the north and would always be cold.
4. There are four marked spots in the original path. What do you predict the spots represent?
These marked spots represent the fous seasons.
5. In the space below, draw a diagram of the light rays hitting the globe at the spot where the Northern Hemisphere was tilted away from the lamp.
