The Sun, the Earth & the Seasons

Today, everyone will create a Pixie drawing that includes the sun, the Earth and the seasons.  Your drawing must show us how the Earth's tilt toward the sun is related to the seasons (summer and winter).  Identify:

  1. the equator
  2. the earth's axis
  3. summer
  4. winter
  5. northern and southern hemispheres

Fact: 1 revolution  = 365 1/4 days  = 1 year
Here are some examples from last year's 3rd graders:
