Second Semester
2024-2025
Student’s Name:
Material included Science and Math Department Worksheet
Planet Earth Grade: 6
Date: Subject: Science
Teacher’s Name: Malak Tawalbeh
1. Earth’s Structure and Sunlight:
o The equator divides Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
o Regions near the equator receive direct sunlight year-round, casting shorter shadows compared
to higher latitudes.
2. Earth’s Rotation and Shadows:
o Earth rotates on its axis (an imaginary line through the poles) every 24 hours, causing the Sun
to appear to move from east to west.
o Shadows change length/position based on the Sun’s angle:
 Morning/Evening: Sun is low → long shadows.
 Noon: Sun is high → short shadows (directly below objects).
3. Seasonal Changes:
 Earth’s tilt (23.5°) and orbit cause seasonal changes in sunlight and shadows.
 Winter: Longer shadows (Sun lower in the sky).
 Summer: Shorter shadows (Sun higher in the sky).
o These effects are more pronounced farther from the equator.
o Farmers used shadow patterns, temperature, and climate to plan planting/harvesting.
