| Question | Claim | Evidence |
| How are the paths of the sun, in summer and winter alike? | They both rise in the east and set in the west. | As the earth moves in a circular movement, we stand looking at the sun but then the earth turns, the sun looks like it moves but it really doesn't and when you wake up it is in the east and by the end of the day its in the west. |
| Question Which locations did the longest shadow occur? Where was the sun at this time? | Claim I think that the locations where the shadows were the longest was when the sun was very low n the east side and very low on the west side, The beginning of the day and the end of the day. | Evidence When the sun is above the object that casts the shadow it doesn't have much of a long shadow because the sun is directly above the object. When the sun is lower it is on the side of the object, it casts a very long shadow because it has so much to shine on except for a little part which makes a smaller shadow. |
| Question What about the sun causes shadows to get longer or shorter? | Claim The position it is in when its is in the sky. | Evidence When the sun is low and you go outside you see a long shadow, and when its around the middle of the day you have a small shadow. (You can do this yourself) |
| Question At which locations did the longest shadows occur. Where is the Sun in this time? | Claim I think the longest shadow occured at the end of the day while the sun was setting. The sun was very low. | Evidence If you go outside, around 6:00 and 7:00 P.M, on a summer day. You can see that your shadow will be a LOT longer than if you would measure it around 12:00 A.M. |
| Question How are the paths of the winter and summer sun different | Claim The sun rises and sets at a lower angle than in the summer time. | Evidence IN the winter you can go outside and see that the sun is at a lower angle than if you were to record it in the summer! |
