This video is the final review for Earth Science lessons 5 through 8. It covers success criteria for the test, including creating a model to show the relationship between sunlight intensity, temperature, and Earth's latitude. The video explains how to depict the Earth's tilt and the varying intensity of sunlight at different latitudes. It also discusses patterns in daylight hours and the distinction between weather and climate. A bonus tip reveals that the question about hail formation has been removed from the test. Students are encouraged to ask questions in class before the test.
