Reason for the Seasons

Submitted by kate.elliott on

Mrs. Penny Thompson's science class spent time exploring the reasons for the seasons.  One student noted that the Earth travels around the Sun in an elliptical orbit. This means that the distance between the Earth and the Sun changes throughout the year. However, this change in distance is not the primary reason for the seasons. When asked what was the real reason for season's, he commented, "the earth's tilt of course."  This lesson really came to life as students explored this phenomenon using models for the earth and sun!

Mrs. Nelson's science class was learning about electromagnets and how using cooper wire with electricity running through it can create a simple electromagnetic field. The students used their electromagnets to see how many paperclips they could pick up!
