A worksheet regarding the path of the Sun around the Earth and the Earth's tilt on its axis.

A video and a short multiple-choice quiz on how the Earth's tilt on its axis, its rotation, and its orbit around the Sun give us a 24-hour day, a 365-day year, and our seasons.

Join Audrey on her learning adventure as she discovers how the Earth's rotation causes day and night.

In this lesson, students will discuss, define, and demonstrate the Earth's rotation and revolution around the sun in a counterclockwise position. They will be able to predict seasons based on the amount of light that hits the Earth.

An explanation of the effect that the tides have on the Earth's rotation.

An insightful website from NASA that presents a series of different questions about the rotation of the Earth.

This season simulator takes Earth through an entire year cycle allowing the viewer to observe the tilt of the Earth and the intensity of the sunlight.

Why is the spinning motion so special? Brian Jones details the dizzyingly wide array of ways that spinning affects our lives. [3:57]

This kinesthetic activity will demonstrate concepts like rotation and orbit, clarify movement and direction, and help young scholars understand why earthlings see different things in the sky.
