Science week of 1/14/10

What science ideas or topics did you learn?

This week in Science, we learned and talked about seasons. We also learned why seasons happen and how difference seasons change. First we learned that just because the Earth is farther away from the sun it does not mean that it is winter. We also learned that seasons happen by the Earths revolution and rotation that one side of the Earth is facing the sun and the other is not.


How can these ideas be applied to real life?

This can be applied to real life because first of all, it does happen in real life. Also it does apply to real life because if you go on a simulation where it shows where the Earth is right now, then compare it to what season it is. For example if it is mid-summer right now and the Earth is far away from the sun, then you know that it doesn't matter at how far away the sun is from the Earth.
