Answer: Sunset happens later. Later sunsets mean days are getting longer.
Flashcard 3: Which observation is evidence that mornings stay dark longer?

Answer: Daylight decreases. Days get shorter from fall to winter.
Flashcard 10: What happens to the amount of daylight as spring moves toward summer?
Answer: Daylight increases. Days get longer from spring to summer.

Flashcard 23: What is one simple tool you can use to collect evidence about daylight length each day?
Answer: A calendar or chart. Records sunrise/sunset times to track daylight patterns over time.
Flashcard 24: What is the best evidence-based statement: daylight stays the same all year or daylight changes with seasons?
Answer: Daylight changes with seasons. Evidence shows daylight hours vary throughout the year.

Answer: Written sunrise and sunset times. Measurable data provides stronger evidence than personal feelings.
Flashcard 26: Identify the best evidence type for daylight changes over months: one day of data or many days of data?
