Some days are longer than others....

Remember the chart we completed in class that showed the length of daylight in Berkely, California over the course of a year? Well, if you do, you'd recall the bar graph we made to represent our data. 
How does the graph we made in class compare to the graph pictured above? *The graph above shows the length of daylight in an unknown location in the Southern Hemisphere.

    THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE GRAPH WE HAVE DONE IN CLASS. INSTEAD OF LONGER DAYS IN THE SUMMER, IT IS SHORTER DAYS IN SUMMER AND LONGER DAYS IN WINTER. THIS GRAPH IS INCREASED THEN DECREASED AND INCREASED AGAIN. THE ONE WE MADE IN CLASS WE DECREASED THEN INCREASED FOR SUMMER AND DECREASED AGAIN.

  3. This does not compare in any way.In the bargraph we made in class, the hours increased and then decreased.Also, in this bar graph the hours decreased and then increased.

    I disagree with the graph shown.During class I observed that from Jan-Jun the amount of daylight shown in Berkeley,California increase.Unlike shown in the chart where the daylight decreases during that time period.Therefore this means that incorrect information was gathered and charted in the graph.

  5. I can compare that in class the chart started at about 9 hours and went even higher until we got to June. It was June and the hours of daylight was about 14 hours. After that it went all the way down back to about 9 hours again.

    In class we made a bar graph that is much different from the one online. Our data on the bar graph was different too. On the bar graph, our data looked like a mountain, however, this graph looks like a valley. Our data shown on the graph started off low, then increased a little, then went low again.

  8. The chart above shows an decrease and then about half the way it increses.The chart we made in our science workbook incereases until like halfway and then the other half it decreases.

  9. this is similar because it fluctuates

  10. Hi, this is Andre E. from class 602. The chart data is opposite from our data that we recorded in class. Our chart shows longer daylight in June and this chart it shows longer daylight in December. The reason for this is they are on the South and we are in the North and because of the Earths tilt, when we are pointing at the Sun, it is is Summer solstice and since we are pointing at the sun they are on the opposite side of the Earth so they are pointing away from the Sun. They don't get that much daylight and they are pointed away from the sun so its winter for them and summer for us. That is why there chart is opposite from ours.

  11. This chart shows that there is a decrease in the hours of daylight then about half way it increases. The chart we did in class showed that the hours of daylight increases for about the first six months and the decreases the rest of the months.

  12. This chart is different from the chart in class because the chart in class goes up then down, the chart above shows that it goes down then up.The picture above is incorrect because it does not have the correct information.This chart has June 21st [the longest day of the year] at 10, or 11 hours and some minutes.However, my chart has the longest day of the year, June 21st,as 14hours and 47 minutes.

  13. In the chart above June 21 is the day that has the least amount of ours than any other month.

    I think that they are similar because in our graph from January to June the graph decreases but from June to December it increases so the graph increases and decreases.It is also alike because June 21 has the least amount of hours of daylight than the others.

    The chart above and the one done in clss compares to each other because they are based on the same topic. The topic is how many hours of daylight will we have today? The difference between the two charts are that the one done in class goes down up down,while, this one goes up down up.

  16. Hey this is Karl D.Both graphs above shows how many hours of daylight.This one shows that the months that we have winter in the Northern Hemisphere have the most hours of daylight in the Southern Hemisphere.

  17. This graph is different than the graph that we did in class. This is like a V while ours was an up-side-down V. This is probably because of the latitude difference.

  18. And to comment on what Nadia said I think it's not incorrect because Berkeley was in the Northern Hemisphere whereas this was "an unknown location in the Southern Hemisphere". I think their Winter is our Summer.

  19. =Continued= We get more direct rays from the sun on our side when it's summer and they get less direct rays because of the tilt of the earth while it's rotating and revolving.

  20. =Continuedx2= And that's why I don't think it's incorrect. Stanley V. Class 601

    both because you are putting the same amount of jam on the bread and cracker

  22. Basically because we are rotating/tilting/revolving around the different parts of earth get different amount of direct rays from the sun (day light) so in June 21 the northern hemisphere has more day light then the southern hemisphere,in December 21 has more day light then the northern hemisphere. ;)

  23. As I can see the numbers of daylight decreased and then increased. I think the reason why it increased in the Fall is because the tilt of Earth while it is rotating and revolving.

    The graph above is different from our graph in class because instead it decreases and then increases and June 21st has the least amount of daylight. They are similar because they are both focusing on the amount of daylight but in different places.

  25. I don't agree with the chart above because the chart we made in class went ; down up and then back down, but this one is up down and back up .

  26. Hi this is Youmna H. from class 602.This chart is the opposite than the one we did in class because we collected data from Berkely,California and this data is collected from an unknown area in the Southern Hemisphere.I agree with Andre E. about the Summer and Winter Solstice.

  27. The graph shown above shows a decrease in the amount of hours of daylight and then an increase. Where as the chart we created in class shows an increase and then a decrease [ a hill ]. The longest day of the year in this graph is in the month of December, but, on our graph we collected data stating that the longest day of the year was in the month of June. :)

    In class we made a bar graph that looked similar to this one. It starts high goes low then comes back high.

    ReplyDelete
  29. This is not the same one we made in class though. The one we made in class started low went high then went low.

  30. while they had longer hours of daylight in december, we have our longest day in june. therefore in there they have summer solstice when we have winter solstice.

  31. Compared to graph we did in class, I realize that the graph we did showed June 21 as being the longest day of the year. And in the picture above it shows June 21 as being the shortest day of the year. Also, in our graph we did in class it shows December 21 as being the shortest day of the year,but on the picture above it shows December 21 as being the longest day of the year.

  32. This graph is totally differs than the graph that we made in our science work books. In this graph, January and December have the longest day of the year, and June and July have the shortest day of the year. I noticed that the beginning and end of the year had longest days and the middle of the year has shorter days. This is because the location is in the southern hemisphere. Berkely,California is vise-versa because it is located in the northern hemisphere. From AminahLOL 603

  33. this graph is making an increase, decrease and then an increase from the daylight hours of berkeley,cali..It is almost like a pattern making a "mountain" just like the graph done at school although it is the other way around because june has the most daylight hours and december has the least.

    this graph is similar to the one we did in class because in class it was the oppissite in summer the amount of hours went up but here they go down

  35. Great blog. Very smooth aesthetic and easy to access the information you're looking for.

  36. i don't think it compares with the chart. The chart above shows an decrease and then it increses.The chart we made in science incereases and then the other half decreases. Also the longest day is in December while the shortest day is in June

    This graph differs from the graph we made in class because,the graph we made in class at first increases until June 21 and then decreases but in the graph shown above the amount of daylight the line increases then decreases then increases again.
