Tracking Changes
in Photoperiod Around
the Globe
Mystery Class Update: February 20, 1998
|
Mrs. Berger's 5th Grade Class |
Thanks to Mrs. Berger's class, here
is the second set of sunrise/sunset data from our Mystery sites around the world.
Remember, this information was recorded on Monday, the same day you collected your
sunrise/sunset data.
As you plot this week's information on your graph, see if you can determine these
things:
- Where is photoperiod changing the most quickly?
- In which places is it increasing? In which places is it decreasing?
- What might these things tell you about the location of each site?
Newspaper Wasn't Delivered Today?
Thanks to Mrs. Berger and The Time Service Dept., U.S. Naval Observatory, you now
have another excellent research tool to look up your own hometown sunrise/sunset
times. Mrs. Berger tells us that you can use this Internet resource to find your
own sunrise and sunset times by looking them up with these URL's and using your latitude
and longitude coordinates:
Worldwide
