Give your earth science students a focused look at earth's heating by the sun with ninety questions built for real classroom use, whether you are starting a new unit or reviewing before a test.
Students will answer questions such as "What role do ocean currents play in Earth's climate?", "Why is the Sun's energy more intense at the equator than at higher latitudes?", and "What effect does Earth's tilt have during summer in the Northern Hemisphere?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Atmospheric Circulation Cells, Wind Patterns, Ocean Currents and Energy, Upwelling and Nutrient Cycles, Global Wind Belts, and El Niño and La Niña, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-ESS2-6.
