Use these videos to help supplement your learning. They will also be in Google Classroom

Seasons | Grades 6-8, 9-12 Science Teaching and Lesson ResourcesThis video animation illustrates how the combination of the tilt of earth's spin axis and the orbit of the earth about the sun creates the geometry responsible for earth’s seasons. There is no sound.

Why Do We Have Seasons? | Grades 3-5, 6-8, 9-12 Science Teaching and Lesson ResourcesExplore what causes seasons on Earth in this interactive adapted from NASA materials that features four cities at different latitudes. Use this resource to view how Earth’s axial tilt causes seasons from different perspectives and to develop and use models of sunlight received at Earth’s surface.

Changing Daylight in Summer and Winter | Grades 3-5 Science Teaching and Lesson ResourcesObserve the effect of Earth’s tilt on the amount of daylight that occurs in the northern and southern hemispheres with these videos and diagrams. This resource provides opportunities for students to observe, ask questions, and construct explanations about cyclical patterns, such as differences in the duration of daylight in summer and winter and Earth’s rotation.

Why Do We Have Different Seasons? | Habitat Earth | Grades 6-8, 9-12 Science Teaching and Lesson ResourcesDid you know that the Sun’s light shines differently on Earth at different times of the year? Watch as the Earth orbits the Sun, rotating, like a slightly tilted, spinning top. This rotation changes the angle at which sunlight hits the surface of our planet, creating the different seasons.
