Activity 2: Why does the Earth have seasons?

# data[].attributes.body
In this activity, pupils will investigate why the Earth has seasons. For that they will build an Earth-Sun model. They will learn that the Earth turns on its axis from West to East (anticlockwise); and discover that Earth is tilted on its axis and that this tilt is responsible for the seasons.

Equipment

• Polystyrene sphere (approx. 10 cm diameter)
• Pen
• Small flag of your country
• 1 wooden skewer
• 2 sheets of A4 paper
• Sticky tape
• Drawing compass
• Torch
• Globe (optional)

Activity 1: Colours on Earth in the four seasons

# data[].attributes.body
In this activity, pupils will explore photos taken on Earth at different times of the year and then work with satellite images. This activity can be done either as a classroom discussion or independently by the pupils using the worksheets. Pupils should look at the images and discuss what time of the year they were taken. Older students can also analyse satellite images showing vegetation index and observe how colours and plant health change globally at different times of the year

Brief description

This resource includes two activities to foster and enhance pupils’ knowledge of seasons, and focuses on the basic mechanism behind different seasons on Earth. The resource is divided into different parts, therefore enabling a gradual acquisition of the topic and content. The starting point is a general discussion about seasons by considering the changing colours on Earth over the course of a year. This is followed by a hands-on activity that aims to let pupils explore the influence of the Sun-Earth system on seasons.
