Unit 9 Lesson 2A. Energy From the Sun

1. On page 17 read the paragraphs under the Headings Energy from the Sun and Heat.

2. Fill in the following notes1. When the earth receives energy from the sun three

things can happen.a. Some is ________________ back into space by clouds,

particles and Earth’s _______________.

b. Some is absorbed by the _______________ layer.

c. Some is absorbed by land or water on Earth.


2. When energy from the sun is transferred through the atmosphere to Earth’s surface (land or water) three things occur.

a.______________________

b.______________________

c.______________________

Match the words to the correct definition. Check you answers with the teacher


1. Open your Unit 9 vocabulary that is saved to your U:drive.

2. Define and find an appropriate picture for the following words: Conduction, Convection and Radiation.


1. Refer back to your Unit 9 Lesson 2 notes.

1. Observe the picture2. In the bubbles write

the correct type of heat transfer.

3. In the rectangular boxes describe what is happening.

4. Have it checked by your teacher.


• 4. Observe the picture of heat transfer over water.1. Fill in the bubbles with the correct type of

heat transfer.

2. Have your teacher check it.

Unit 9 Lesson 2B. The Water Cycle

• 1. Use your book page 19 to help you match the term to the correct definition.


1. On page 19 read the paragraphs under the heading The Water Cycle.

2. Fill in the following notes1. Are you drinking the same water that

Dinosaurs drank millions of years ago?


2. There is a constant cycling of water from the geosphere and the hydrosphere to the _________________.

C. Steps of the Water Cycle

1. The energy from the sun causes water from the __________ to change from a liquid to a gas in a process called _______________.


2. Water from the _____________ evaporates and enters the _______________.

3. When the water vapor in the _______________ cools it changes back to liquid in a process called _____________.

4. When condensation occurs clouds form and tiny water droplets begin to form ___________ water droplets. As they grow they become heavier and they will fall from the ___________ back to the ___________ or the _____________ in a process called ___________________.


5. When the water falls on the geosphere ____________ allows it to reach the ___________.


1. Inside the bubbles label the steps of the water cycle

2. In the rectangular boxes explain where the water is and where it is going (geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere.)

3. Have is checked

by the teacher.

Now lets put it all together.

1. How is heat (thermal energy) transferred through the water cycle?

2. Fill in the blanks in the story about the water droplet.

1. Directions: You are a water drop and you are going on a trip, a trip through the water cycle that is! Begin your trip in a body of water (hydrosphere) and explain in detail what you experience as you travel though the water cycle and back to your body of water.

2. Be sure you use these words correctly in your story: Radiation, Conduction, Convection, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, Geosphere, evaporation, condensation, precipitation and run off)
