Why does Earth experience summer, fall, winter, and spring? Using an informative demonstration, learners see how the angle of the sun on Earth and the rotation of Earth determine the seasons. Scholars work in pairs to learn that the angle light shines affects light intensity and coverage, relating this to how sunlight reaches Earth's surface.
