Use this during the season of teaching about the seasons! As Earth revolves around the sun, its tilt causes the weather to change. The graphics in this presentation show how Earth's position in space has an effect on the angle of insolation, which results in different temperatures. One way to use this would be to have learners view the slides as homework, take notes, test themselves with the quiz, and print out their results.
