Solar Motion Lab Activity

Students Assemble Their Own Models to View the Changing Relationship of Sun to Earth

• Enough materials to build 24 four-inch diameter solar system models

  Ideal for group activities

This engaging educational tool allows students to explore the Earth-Sun relationship and understand how solar motion affects our daily lives. By constructing their own models, learners can investigate questions like: Why are summer days longer than winter days? How do sunrise and sunset times change throughout the year? And how does day length vary from season to season? The kit includes durable, heavy-paper components that can be adjusted to represent solar positions at any time of year.
