The Seasons and Earth’s Tilt. This 3 DAY lesson package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the Power Point), a seasons computer-based lab and a student lesson handout as a word document. The Power Point is fun and applicable with one video embedded, TWO simulations and one lab linked into the Power Point. Designed for Middle/Secondary classes but can easily be adapted to fit an Elementary classroom.
The simulations and lab are meant to breakdown student misconceptions and help guide them to the correct concepts while providing them with some hands-on experience.

The student version of the power point contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
