Teachers can use it to address a frequently misunderstood concept — that seasons result from tilt, not distance — and to develop accurate scientific reasoning about the Earth-Sun-Moon system. It fits within an Earth-Sun-Moon system unit and strengthens students' ability to apply astronomical evidence to seasonal observations.
Learning objectives
- Identify Earth's axial tilt as the primary cause of seasonal changes
- Explain how Earth's position in its orbit affects the angle and duration of sunlight received
