Students are learning why we have day and night and seasons. We learned that the Earth spins or rotates on its axis every 24 hours. This rotation causes us to have day and night.

When our axis is tilted toward the Sun and are getting direct sunlight which gives us summer and when the axis it tilted away we are getting indirect sunlight which gives us spring. Students had a blast using flashlights and styrofoam balls to model the Earth’s motions. For some cool videos see below
