Patterns in Shadows - Creating/Comparing Graphs to Show Daily & Seasonal Changes
As the Earth rotates, it creates a daily pattern of shadows that students can observe and measure through hands-on activities. But the Earth moves in other ways, including revolution. This activity allows students to explore both ideas: that shadows change daily and shadows change seasonally. Students create graphs, then compare those graphs in order to make sense of Earth’s movements. Finally, students use this information to predict how long it takes for Earth to revolve around the Sun one tim

Patterns in Daylight Hours - Does DST Cause the Amount of Daylight to Change?
As the Earth rotates, it creates a daily pattern of shadows that students can observe and measure through hands-on activities. As the Earth revolves, it creates a seasonal pattern in the length of shadows that students can track over time. But Earth’s revolution also creates a pattern of changing daylight hours. Students may know from personal experience that the amount of daylight hours also changes. If you live in a place that observes Daylight Saving Time, students may falsely think that by c
