In Investigating Life on the Third Rock, middle school students work to generate and explore the overarching question of “How does the solar system and its objects affect life on Earth?” Students use modeling and argumentation to explore the lesson-level questions: “What properties of the solar system and its objects help explain why Earth can sustain life?” “Does the Moon affect life on Earth?” and “Why do the solar system and its objects move like they do?”

In this activity, you will investigate and measure how sunlight is distributed on the earth’s surface in different seasons, illustrating that the seasonal temperature variation has nothing to do with the distance from the earth to the sun, and everything to do with how much direct sunlight a region gets. You will be able to observe how direct sun rays deliver considerably more energy to the earth’s surface than indirect rays.
