Example Questions

Example Question #1 :Relate The Amount Of Daylight To The Time Of Year

What time of the year has the shortest days (least amount of sunlight)?

Possible Answers:

Summer

Spring

Winter

Fall

Correct answer:

Winter

Explanation:

The winter has the least amount of sunlight when compared to the other seasons. During the winter, because of the Earth's position, we have less direct sunlight leading to shorter days, cooler temperatures, and the least amount of sunlight.

一个s seasons change, the number of daylight hours changes too.

一个s seasons change, the number of daylight hours remains the same.

There is no relationship between the seasons and the number of daylight hours.

Correct answer:

一个s seasons change, the number of daylight hours changes too.

Explanation:

There is a direct relationship between seasons and the number of daylight hours. During the spring and summer, longer days mean more daylight hours because of the Sun's tilt and position; during the winter, the days are shorter.

Example Question #3 :Relate The Amount Of Daylight To The Time Of Year

The order of the seasons changes every year.

Possible Answers:

False

True

Correct answer:

False

Example Question #5 :Relate The Amount Of Daylight To The Time Of Year

What seasons have the least amount of daylight?

Possible Answers:

Fall and winter

Winter and summer

Spring and summer

Correct answer:

Fall and winter

Explanation:

The fall and winter have the least amount of daylight of the four seasons. The Earth's tilt and position cause the Earth to be tilted away from the Sun, so there is less sunlight, and the days are shorter.

Example Question #6 :Relate The Amount Of Daylight To The Time Of Year

一个student predicts that summer will have longer days and more sunlight so he can play outside more when compared to winter. Is the student's prediction correct? Why or why not?

Possible Answers:

Yes, he is correct. The Sun moves towards the Earth in the summer and away in winter.

No, he is incorrect. There is more daylight in the winter than in the summer.

Yes, he is correct. The Earth is tilted towards the Sun during the summer and away during winter.

Correct answer:

Yes, he is correct. The Earth is tilted towards the Sun during the summer and away during winter.

Explanation:

The student is correct with his prediction. The Earth is slightly tilted, and during the summer, it is tilted towards the Sun, so we are warmer and get longer, sunnier days. During the winter, the Earth is tilted away from the Sun based on our position, so the days a colder, shorter, and there is less sunlight.

Example Question #7 :Relate The Amount Of Daylight To The Time Of Year

Possible Answers:

During the summer months, there is less daylight than in the winter months.

There is the same amount of daylight during the whole year.

During the winter months, there is less daylight than in the summer months.

Correct answer:

During the winter months, there is less daylight than in the summer months.

Explanation:

Rob can conclude that during the winter months, there is less daylight than during the summer months. If there are only 9 hours of daylight in the winter but up to 15 hours in the summer, there is a relationship between the seasons and the amount of sunlight based on this data.

Example Question #8 :Relate The Amount Of Daylight To The Time Of Year

Based on the data table below, which conclusion isNOTcorrect?

Winter and fall get the least daylight.

Spring and summer get the most daylight.

Spring and fall get the same amount of daylight.

Correct answer:

Spring and fall get the same amount of daylight.

Explanation:

The conclusion that isNOTcorrect is that spring and fall get the same amount of daylight. Looking at the data table, we can see that spring receives 13 hours of daylight, and the fall receives 11 hours of daylight. These are not the same number, so this is an incorrect statement. The other answer choices are true statements based on the data.
