Description
Theme: Students consider the causes of seasonal changes and observe changes in sunlight over short periods (daily changes) and longer periods (seasonal changes). They look for ways in which living things have adapted to survive and to take advantage of seasonal changes.
Science Exploration: Students explore Earth’s rotation and how the Earth’s orbit around the sun and the tilt of its axis cause seasonal changes.
Process Skills: Students make periodic observations of natural phenomena and use models to explain phenomena they observe.
