= Wednesday, 03-07-2012 = Mrs. Dalrymple’s science class conducted investigations to see which factors affect temperature change. Below are the conclusions each group made.

1. As the __wattage__(amount of energy) increased, the temperature increased. 2. As the __distance__ increased, the temperature decreased. 3. As the __angle__ increased (more direct), the temperature increased. 4. As the __time__ increased, the temperature increased. 5. The darker the __color__, the higher the temperature.

=One of the above conclusions best explains why Earth experiences changes in temperature during different seasons. Which one do you think is the correct reason?=
