    The student conducted an experiment to draw the location of the sun in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon. They observed that the sun started low in the sky and got higher until it was closest to a nearby tree at noon, before getting lower again in the afternoon. They analyzed that the sun's path was a zigzag line so it could provide sunlight to different parts of the Earth as it rotates. In the conclusion, the student determined their original hypothesis that the sun would go up and down was incorrect, as it went down then up. They learned about the Earth's rotation relationship to the sun's location throughout the day.

    Location of the Sun Lab

    Hypothesis
    If I draw the location of the sun in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon, I will see
    that the sun _______is going to go down, up then down again______. (Delete underline
    and these directions after writing)

    Materials
    Pencil
    (Add however many you need)

    Observations
    In complete sentences, describe what happened with the three of your drawings.
    Remember to be clear in addressing what drawing, morning, noon, or afternoon. Stick
    to describing, no interpretation or opinion needed, this is just the observations. What
    happened was, it kept on going up and up and up. It started to get closer to the papaya
    tree which was west.

    (Insert Picture of drawings from Shared Google Weebly Pictures Folder)

    Analysis
    In complete sentences, analyze your drawings. Why do you think the sun was in the
    place or places it that it was? Can you relate this to the earths rotation? I think why it
    went in a zigzag line is because there needs to be sun all over the earth so it tried to
    move to all the countries and states.

    Conclusion
    Address your hypothesis, was it right or wrong? Why do you think so? What did you
    learn from this experiment? What does this experiment tell you about the earths
    rotation and relationship to the sun? Answer all these questions in complete and
    separate sentences. I was wrong. The sun started to go up then it went down a little
    tiny bit. I learns the rotation of the sun. It was really cool. I think I was wrong because I
    predicted the sun to go up and down, but It went down, then up.
