2. Welcome to our Webquest Part III.
We measure the day by saying that the sun is at it's
highest point at 12 o'clock, midday. Because the
earth spins, as it travels around the sun, one half of
the earth is in darkness and one half in light, all the
time. This brings us to a problem. If it is midday
where you are, on the opposite side of the earth, it is
dark, so what time is it on the opposite side of the
world? We invite you to learn about time zones.
3. Task 5: Read about What are Time
Zones By Cindy Grigg and answer the
questions in your notebook (you can print
and paste in your notebook!).
Task 6: Re-read What are Time Zones and
fill in each blank with the word that best
completes the reading comprehension.
4. Task 7: Check the following website
and answer questions on slides 10 to 15.
Remember to justify your answers in
your notebook.
