How It Is Used
Set the model on a stable surface and move the Earth slowly around the Sun. At each position students see how sunlight falls on different regions, and the teacher explains how the tilt causes the seasons and how the seasons differ between the two hemispheres. Handle the rotating parts gently.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes the seasons on the Four Seasons Working Model?
The Earth is tilted at 23.5°, so as it travels around the Sun the angle of sunlight and the length of the day change, giving the four seasons.
Does the Four Seasons Working Model need electricity?
