Investigate and understand the role of solar energy in driving most natural processes within the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and on Earth’s surface.
Grade 6-Science

Objectives: The student will investigate and understand the role of solar energy in driving most natural processes within the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and on Earth’s surface.

a) Earth’s energy budget;

b) the role of radiation and convection in the distribution of energy;

c) the motion of the atmosphere and the oceans;

d) cloud formation; and

e) the role of thermal energy in weather-related phenomena including thunderstorms and hurricanes.

This lesson in the Sun and its many effects on our planet will take five class days to complete. We will have a science experiment on how the sun’s energy correlates with different weather patterns. We will research on our computers in the classroom, at home, and the school library.
