The 4th grade students in Mrs. Bennett’s class at Jackson Davis have been studying the relationship among the Earth, moon, and sun. Today we focused on seasons and created a quick presentation in Scratch to explain the reasons why we experience winter and summer. The students remixed this Scratch template and coded the images of the winter earth and summer earth to explain how the Earth’s tilt on it’s axis and revolution around the sun creates seasons.
