A New Slant On The Seasons

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students identify how the tilt and position of the Earth causes the seasons. After a discussion of the seasons and when they begin. Using themselves as the objects in the universe, they role play how the rotational movement of the Earth causes the seasons and dispel the myth that the Earth's relative position of the Earth to the sun causes the seasons.
