Ranking Task: Ordering Times of the Day (3-D)

This ranking task presents a three-dimensional image of the Earth with the sun 'orbitting' around the Earth on the celestial sphere and asks the student to rank the figures in terms of the times of the day for a shown observer. This shows the possibility of including very complicated, realistic images so that students can better engage their ability to visualize a problem.
