The Sun!

Josh looked outside the classroom window and observed a snake lying on a rock in the Sun.  Josh shared with the class why the snake chose that location.  What is the best reason that the Snake is lying on the rock?  

• The rock absorbs GASES from the air, to keep the snake breathing. 

• HEAT ENERGY from the Sun warms the rock, to keep the snake's body temperature warm.

• SOUND ENERGY from the Sun warms the rock, to keep the snake's body temperature warm through vibrations.

• The rock traps HEAT ENERGY from the ground, to keep the snake's body temperature warm.

Why would an ice cube in the sun melt FASTER than one in the shade?

• The ice cubes in the Sun had more mass than the ice cubes in the shade. 

• The ice cubes in the shade absorbed more heat energy from the Sun.  

• Heat energy decreases when the Sun is not directly on the ice.
