A Family's Daylight Records

Asha's family hangs daylight cards on a low backyard clothesline. Their home is in the northern United States. Daylight is the time from sunrise to sunset. Cloudy time between sunrise and sunset counts, too.

The family makes one card in each season: winter, spring, summer, and fall. They use the same backyard each time. A grown-up checks the local sunrise and sunset times. Together, they find about how many hours of daylight that day had.

The family puts the four records in a graph. They want to use the cards to predict daylight changes next year.
