2. October 6, 2015 What are we doing today? “Waterfalls and Falls” - Watch Part B - Complete Part C (Pg. 67-70) Due: Friday Target To generalize systems and understand the concept of inputs and outputs Question of the Day Q: It is often said that most events on Earth depend on the sun. Why is this true? A. Most events on Earth require a transfer of energy, and Earth gets energy from the sun. B. The basic processes of life are powered by light activity. C. The sun keeps Earth in a proper orbit, which allows for balanced weather and seasons. D. The sun keeps Earth spinning on its axis, which powers most of the planet’s events. 22
