Description
There is a misconception that the seasons are caused by the distance the Earth is away from the Sun, but the truth is, it’s due to Earth’s tilt and the revolution of the Earth around the Sun. In addition to seasons, we have special events: solstices and equinoxes. This interactive lesson will engage your students to address these misconceptions and learn the power of the Earth-Moon-Sun system and how this impacts the seasons.
Interactive lessons are great for small groups, student-led learning, teacher-led learning, distance learning, science stations, and more!
A print and digital version is included!
