2. Clarify misconceptions (It is the tilt of the axis, not the elliptical orbit that is the primary cause for seasons
· Misconception: The seasons are caused by the earth’s elliptical orbit.
· Misconception: Earth’s orbit is only slightly elliptical
· Misconception: The amount of solar radiation received throughout the year does not vary

o ELL/SPED: Relate formation of the solar system to the distance of earth from the sun, the tilt of earth’s axis, and the elliptical orbit of the planets around the sun. Explain how the tilt of the axis results in unequal heating of earth.

Assessment:
1. Ask students to create a model or a weather map and present their project in class

PHYSICAL SCIENCE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE
Standard 10: EnergyA. Energy is involved in all physical and chemical processes. It is conserved, and can be transformed from one form to another and into work. At the atomic and nuclear levels energy is not continuous but exists in discrete amounts. Energy and mass are related through Einstein's equation E=mc2. B. The properties of atomic nuclei are responsible for energy-related phenomena such as radioactivity, fission and fusion. C. Changes in entropy and energy that accompany chemical reactions influence reaction paths. Chemical reactions result in the release or absorption of energy.
