Study Guide Investigation 1

Investigation 1 iCheck Study Guide

Use the following materials to help you study…

This study guide.
Any papers we completed in class or that I passed back to you.
Your science notebook pages related to Investigation 1.

You should know….

Shadows:

What a shadow is.

The direction a light source comes from that produces a shadow. Ex. If the shadow is pointing to the East, then the light source has to be coming from the West.

How the length AND directions of shadows change over the course of a day.
- Sunrise = long shadows to the West
- Midday = short shadows to the North
- Sunset = long shadows to the East

Day/Night:

Rotation of the Earth causes day and night.
- The Earth rotates on an axis.
- The Earth rotates fully every 24 hours.

Earth is always half in light/day and half in shadow/dark.

The side of Earth that faces the Sun is in day.

The side of Earth not facing the Sun is in night. This is also the side of Earth in shadow.

The Sun rises (or appears) in the East.

The Sun sets (or disappears) in the West.

If the Earth didn’t rotate, “day” would last for 6 months and so would “night”.
