Lesson Plan

Massachusetts Department of Education: Sunlight Warms Earth's Surface

Curated by ACT

This unit contains a series of lessons that allow students to explore the effect of sunlight on Earth's natural surfaces of sand, soil, rock, and water. In addition, students explore how the color and material of a surface affects how warm it gets after being in sunlight. To wrap up the unit, students use tools and materials to build a prototype that reduces the warming effects of sunlight.
