Name Date Period24) Draw and label a solar and lunar eclipse using the following terms in each: Umbra,Penumbra, Partial Eclipse and Total Eclipse.Solar Eclipse: Sun‐Moon‐EarthIn the penumbra there would be a partial eclipse and in the umbra there would be atotal eclipse.Golden‐Study Guide S‐E‐ M Test4

Name Date PeriodLunar Eclipse: Sun‐ Earth‐ MoonIn the penumbra there would be a partial eclipse and in the umbra there would be atotal eclipse.Golden‐Study Guide S‐E‐ M Test5

Name Date Period25) Describe how the length of daylight changes from the Equator to the North Pole on the dateshown and explain the reasoning for youranswer.a. There is more daylight at the Equatorthan at the North Pole26) If the last high tide was at 4:00 am when will the next high tide be?a. 4:00 pm because there will be a low tide in 6hours and another high tide in anadditional 6 hours after the next low tide or (12 hours from the last high tide)Golden‐Study Guide S‐E‐ M Test6

Name Date PeriodSHADOWS27) What is a shadow?A. is an area where direct light from a light source cannot reach due to obstruction by anobject28) How can you make a shadow larger or smaller?(Draw and explain)With the light stationary, if the object is closer to the light source, the shadow issmaller.If the object is farther away, the object is larger.LargerSmaller29) What type of material makes the best shadows? (Transparent ,Translucent , or Opaque )Opaque30) How many objects, at minimum, are needed to create a shadow?3 Æ The light, the object blocking the light and the surfaceGolden‐Study Guide S‐E‐ M Test7

Name Date Period31) Using the shape given and the light, draw the shadows.Using the figurine and the light, record how the shadows change sizes.32) Why do we have different seasons in the northern hemisphere than the southernhemisphere?Winter: Earth’s axis is pointed away from the sunSummer: Earth’s axis is pointed toward the sunThe tilt of the Earth on its axis creates seasons. When the northern hemisphere is pointedtoward the sun we are experiences summer but that causes the southern hemisphere to bepointed away from the sun, which creates winter and vise versa.When the Earth (NORTHERN HEMISPHERE) is tilted toward the Sun more direct energy (HEAT)enters the atmosphere.33) Why doesn’t an eclipse occur every full moon?Golden‐Study Guide S‐E‐ M Test8

Name Date PeriodWhen the Earth (NORTHERN HEMISPHERE) is tilted away from the Sun energy (HEAT) isconcentrated more in the Southern Hemisphere.34) If a high tide occurs at 6 A.M. and P.M. At what time will the low tides occur?There are 24 hours in a day and 4 high and low tides total in a day so 24/4 6 hours each highand low tide are apart.Low tides are at 12 A.M. and 12 P.M35) If the tilt of the Earth’s axis increased what would be the effect of the seasons?Result: More extreme summers and winterLonger summer days, shorter winter days in the higher latitudes36) Explain how the angle of insolation hitting the earth affects the amount of heat receivedby the earth’s surface?When the Earth (NORTHERN HEMISPHERE) is tilted away from the Sun energy (HEAT) isconcentrated more in the Southern Hemisphere, causing cooler temperatures in thenorthern hemisphere.When the Earth (NORTHERN HEMISPHERE) is tilted toward the Sun more direct energy(HEAT) enters the atmosphere, causing warmer temperatures in the northernhemisphere.Golden‐Study Guide S‐E‐ M Test9
