Introduction
Do you know what causes the earth's seasons? What are the
factors that contribute to having seasons? How does the length of daylight
period affect the earth and its inhabitants? What effect does the angle of
sunlight striking the earth have on the seasons? These are some of the
questions that we will investigate in this module.

Rayburn High School Module Description
Light provides an important context for studying about the world
in which we live. This topic can be researched in many disciplines, including
biology, math, and physics. This module focuses on the seasonal characteristics
of light and its affects on our earth and living systems. The lessons can
be accomplished by direct hands-on field and laboratory investigations using
graphing calculators, CBLŽ, and other scientific equipment. Students will use
ExcelŽ and MathematicaŽ to investigate the physical properties of
light. The students will model and analyze data collected during the
investigations.
