- Q2On which side of a house in Texas should a window be placed so that the people inside the house can see the sunrise each day through the window?WestSouthEastNorth60s5.8.C: Earth and Space
- Q3Some students used a globe to model the rotation of Earth. They shaded in Texas on the globe, as shown below. They rotated the globe and observed that Texas was in exactly the same place after each rotation. The students could rotate the globe quickly or slowly. If the globe could rotate only at the rate that Earth actually rotates, about how long would each complete rotation take?24 hours30 days365 days60 minutes60s5.8.C: Earth and Space
- Q4Shadows cast by objects change throughout the day. The picture below shows the shadow cast by a tree at 3:00 P.M. Which picture shows how the tree’s shadow most likely looked at 9:00 A.M.?#texas/74423e11-ea10-4404-890f-c983f58c4261/A.png#texas/74423e11-ea10-4404-890f-c983f58c4261/C.png#texas/74423e11-ea10-4404-890f-c983f58c4261/B.png#texas/74423e11-ea10-4404-890f-c983f58c4261/D.png60s5.8.C: Earth and Space

- Q6A student is looking for evidence that Earth is always rotating on its axis. Which of the following would provide the best evidence?The different amount of rain that falls each dayThe different phases of the moon in a monthThe presence of other planets in the night skyThe appearance of shadows changing throughout the day60s5.8.C: Earth and Space
- Q7A student draws a model showing the movements of Earth, the moon, and the sun. Which arrow shows the movement that causes day and night on Earth?Arrow 4, because it shows the rotation of EarthArrow 3, because it shows the orbit of the moon around EarthArrow 2, because it shows the orbit of Earth around the sunArrow 1, because it shows the rotation of the sun60s5.8.C: Earth and Space
