Once you have completed your model and the group activity, you will write a paper of several paragraphs describing your model and the conclusions drawn from the group
activity.
Background Information
The cycle of seasons is caused by Earth's tilt toward the Sun. Earth makes a complete orbit around the
Sun every 365.25 days. It spins on an invisible axis that is tilted at an angle of 23.5°. The angle does not
change; only the direction of the axis in relation to the Sun changes.
The north end of the axis points away from the Sun for half of year and toward the Sun for the other half.
Depending on the time of year, some parts of Earth are tilted more toward the direct rays of the Sun than
other parts. Parts of Earth that get more direct rays get warmer, and parts that get fewer direct rays are
cooler.

It is widely assumed that people need to engage in intellectual activities such as solving crossword puzzles or mathematics problems in order to maintain mental sharpness as they age. in fact, however, simply talking to other people—that is, participating in social interaction, which engages many mental and perceptual skills—suffices. evidence to this effect comes from a study showing that the more social contact people report, the better their mental skills. which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the force of the evidence cited? (a) as people grow older, they are often advised to keep exercising their physical and mental capacities in order to maintain or improve them. (b) many medical conditions and treatments that adversely affect a person's mental sharpness also tend to increase that person's social isolation. (c) many people are proficient both in social interactions and in solving mathematical problems. (d) the study did not itself collect data but analyzed data bearing on the issue from prior studies. (e) the tasks evaluating mental sharpness for which data were compiled by the study were more akin to mathematics problems than to conversation.
