Patterns on Earth

Directions:You will need to open and read your Stemscopes article, Stemscopedia 4.8C Patterns on Earth, to help you answer the questions in this WizerMe. You may print the article to read or you may use the text to speech feature if you need to. If your Stemscopedia is open, let's get started. READ the Reflect section of your Stemscopedia, then answer questions 1-5 below. 1. What causes the shadows that we see here on Earth? Mirrors in the bathroom. Trees in the yard. Reflection of the moon. Light from the sun. 2. The _ of the Sun’s light also causes the change in seasons: from winter to spring to summer to fall. brightness angle heat color 3.

The Moon, Earth, and Sun interact in many different ways. That means they affect each other, or cause changes to each other. These interactions cause patterns on Earth that we can predict. The graphic organizer below describes some of these patterns. It is missing some information.
