Elaboration: Repeat the experiment for locations in the Southern Hemisphere and other areas (different latitudes) in the Northern Hemisphere to develop an understanding of climate zones. Students illustrate the position of the Earth around the sun in an elliptical shape. Students must include the following vocabulary: tilt, rotation, revolution, year, winter, spring, summer, fall, equator, northern hemisphere, southern hemisphere. Possible diagram:
