Reason for the Seasons
Ever wonder why the sun is higher in the sky during summer and lower in winter? This thought-provoking program lets students find the answer! They will manipulate webcam-equipped Earth models to explore how position affects sunlight and seasons. With live video feeds and digital simulations, they'll see the sun’s shifting path through the sky and uncover why seasons vary across the globe — all from a unique view.
