How does Earth's Axial Tilt Affect the Seasons? Day 1
The students generate real time data on the Earth's Axial tilt from 18 degrees to 30 degrees. The culmination of this lab is to investigate the Sun'solar radiation and the Sun's angle of insolation and how theses factors affect how the seasons are manifested in NYS. Day 1 focuses on Winter in NYS at an axial tilt at 18, 23.5, and 30 degrees and the angle of insolation and solar radiation is altered. Throughout the investigation, the students must elaborate why the Earth's Axial tilt must be 23.5
