Content Standards, Review 3rd Grade
• Earth Sciences 4. Objects in the sky move in regular and predictable patterns. As
a basis for under-standing this concept:
e. Students know the position of the Sun in the sky changes during the course of the day and from season to season.
![Page 8: DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT REASONS FOR THE SEASONS AND DESIGNING SOLAR HOMES Hal Aronson 2008](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d845503460f94a6ba43/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
California Science Standards: Grade 6 anticipate
Heat (Thermal Energy) (Physical Science)
3. Heat moves in a predictable flow from warmer objects to cooler objects until all the objects are at the same temperature. As a basis for understanding this concept:
a. Students know energy can be carried from one place to another by heat flow or by waves, including water, light and sound waves, or by moving objects.
c. Students know heat flows in solids by conduction (which involves no flow of matter) and in fluids by conduction and by convection (which involves flow of matter).
d. Students know heat energy is also transferred between objects by radiation (radiation can travel through space).

Science Standards: Grade 6 (cont.)
Energy in the Earth System
4. Many phenomena on Earth’s surface are affected by the transfer of energy through radiation and convection currents. As a basis for understanding this concept:
a. Students know the sun is the major source of energy for phenomena on Earth’s surface; it powers winds, ocean currents, and the water cycle.
b. Students know solar energy reaches Earth through radiation, mostly in the form of visible light.

Science Standards: Grade 6 (cont.)
Resources
6. Sources of energy and materials differ in amounts, distribution, usefulness, and the time required for their formation. As a basis for understanding this concept:
a. Students know the utility of energy sources is determined by factors that are involved in converting these sources to useful forms and the consequences of the conversion process.
b. Students know different natural energy and material resources, including air, soil, rocks, minerals, petroleum, fresh water, wildlife, and forests, and know how to classify them as renewable or nonrenewable.

Earth Science Standards: High School Energy in the Earth System
4. Energy enters the Earth system primarily as solar radiation and eventually escapes as heat. As a basis for understanding this concept:
a. Students know the relative amount of incoming solar energy compared with Earth’s internal energy and the energy used by society.
b. Students know the fate of incoming solar radiation in terms of reflection, absorption, and photosynthesis.
c. Students know the different atmospheric gases that absorb the Earth’s thermal radiation and the mechanism and significance of the greenhouse effect.
d.* Students know the differing greenhouse conditions on Earth, Mars, and Venus; the origins of those conditions; and the climatic consequences of each.

Demonstration #2: Angle and Energy
• With volunteer, demonstrate the effect of angle with a focused beam flashlight or spotlight. Ideally focus it on a piece of graph paper.
• Take it outside with a solar cell and a multimeter set on 10 amps. Experiment with Angle and amps produced. Record your findings.
• Note: relationship between light intensity and amps produced. Recall experiment with light funnel.

Point
• The Demonstration of light beam dispersed and the exploration of the quantity of electricity produced affected by the angle of the solar cell provide the reason we need to record sun angles.

Step 3: Interpret Observations
• The Reason for the Seasons: the reason it gets colder as we move from fall to winter is that the sun is at a shallower angle so less energy hits a given area of Berkeley and the days are shorter, so the solar energy hits Berkeley for less time each day.
• Cause of this: Tilt of Earth on its axis

Principles of Solar Home Design1. Winter: Sun In: Orientation and Angle.
2. Summer: Keep Sun out: Use of Eaves, shade zones, and color.
3. Storage: Thermal Mass: Store warmth in the winter; store “coolth” in summer; keeps temperature even
4. Weatherization: Keep warmth in in the winter and out in the summer.
5. Air Circulation: For Cooling and Warming

• Geometry: 1.0 Students understand perimeter and area: 1.1 Measure the area of rectangular shapes by using appropriate units, such as square centimeter (cm2), square meter (m 2), square kilometer (km 2), square inch (in 2), square yard (yd2), or square mile (mi 2). 1.2 Recognize that rectangles that have the same area can have different perimeters. 1.3 Understand that rectangles that have the same perimeter can have different areas. 1.4 Understand and use formulas to solve problems involving perimeters and areas of rectangles and squares. Use those formulas to find the areas of more complex figures by dividing the figures into basic shapes.

Indigenous “Solar” Architecture
• Incorporates important green energy concepts including orientation, shading, thermal mass
• Utilizes local, usually on site building opportunities and materials
• Opportunity to show how other cultures solved their energy challenges using locally available materials and cultural developed technologies
