Mission Log #4 (Callisto only)
Mission Log: Callisto, my apologies for my absence but I will be back tomorrow. Today, I would like you to take notes on paper that show you understand...
1. What causes the tides? Specifically, how do the positions of the sun, earth, and moon cause spring tides and neap tides?
2. What is the difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?
3. What causes summer and winter? You should also tell me what would happen to the seasons if the Earth had no tilt.
4. What would happen to the Earth if it stopped rotating? (This one is a bonus fun challenge if you finish the other 3 first)
*You can work together but each person must have their own note sheet turned in to the teacher by the end of the class. Feel free to include diagrams or anything else that helps you learn this material. Make sure you are using good websites!!!
