I am going to talk about how the seasons are created and why they occur at different times in the year. At different times in the earths orbit it is a different distance away from the sun. When the earth is closest to the sun it is called the perihelion. When the earth is the farthest from the sun it is…

then ask multiple questions for class discussion before the lesson, such as what makes water tides? What is gravity? Does the moon or the sun affect the changing tides? What are the different types of tides? What are some things that change or creates tides? Explore: Students will watch the NASA clip “What is a Tide?” Students will see how both the Sun and moon’s gravitational force creates low and high tides. Students will discover from the video, that it takes 12 hours and 15…
