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?





Research Assignment: Follow the links below and read to learn why Earth experiences changes in temperature during different seasons. In your notebook, write 3 facts you learned from the research.
