The Earth is split into two halves by the equator, with the top half called the Northern Hemisphere and the bottom half called the Southern Hemisphere. We have seasons because the Earth orbits the Sun over 365 days as it rotates on a tilted axis, causing one hemisphere to be tilted toward or away from the Sun at different times, making those locations warmer or colder respectively.

Worksheet 06 the earth
The Earth rotates on its axis, which passes through the North and South Poles, and revolves around the Sun. The equator divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Rotation causes day and night, while revolution results in the four seasons - spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Earth, sun and_moon
The document discusses the shapes and movements of the Earth, Sun, and Moon. It notes that the Earth is roughly spherical but slightly squashed, orbits the Sun once every year, and spins on its axis once every 24 hours, causing day and night. It states that the Sun is roughly spherical and much larger than Earth, and gives off heat and light. It also says that the Moon is roughly spherical and smaller than Earth, orbits Earth once every 28 days, and we only see the lit side. Students are asked to draw and label the sizes of the objects and describe their shapes and orbits.

The Earth rotates once every 24 hours, causing day and night. The Earth is tilted on its axis, and its rotation causes the seasons. The moon orbits the Earth once every 28 days, and is the Earth's only natural satellite.
Earth
The document provides information about Earth and its rotation, axis, and orbit around the sun. It discusses how Earth's tilted axis and yearly orbit cause the seasons. It explains that summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere in June when the North Pole leans toward the sun. The Fall equinox marks the beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere, when the sun shines equally on both hemispheres. During the winter solstice, the North Pole experiences complete darkness while the Southern Hemisphere experiences summer.
Seasons and moon
The document discusses the reasons for the seasons on Earth. It explains that the seasons are caused by the 23.5 degree tilt of the Earth's rotation axis and its revolution around the Sun. While the distance between Earth and Sun changes slightly as the Earth orbits, this variation is not large enough to cause the four seasons. The key factor is the tilt of the Earth's axis, which results in different parts of the Earth receiving more or less direct sunlight throughout the year, creating the seasonal changes in climate.
Solar system
The document discusses key facts about the solar system, including that there are nine planets that orbit the sun, with Earth orbiting every 365.25 days. It also describes how gravity causes the moon to orbit Earth every 28 days and causes the Earth to spin on its axis every 24 hours. The tilt of the Earth's axis is responsible for causing the seasons.

Exam review
The document summarizes key concepts about the solar system, seasons, the moon, and eclipses. It explains that the Earth's tilted axis causes seasons as different parts of the Earth receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year. It also describes how the moon's phases occur as the moon orbits Earth and rotates on its axis, always showing Earth the same side. Finally, it defines eclipses as shadows cast by celestial bodies and notes that lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes through Earth's shadow, while solar eclipses happen when the moon blocks sunlight from reaching parts of Earth.
solar system part 1
The document discusses the rotation and revolution of bodies in the solar system and how they cause natural phenomena. It states that:
The Earth rotates on its axis every 24 hours, causing day and night, and revolves around the Sun every 365 days, causing seasons. The Moon rotates around the Earth every 28 days and is Earth's natural satellite. The Sun is a star that provides heat and light to the solar system and its spherical bodies rotate and revolve in predictable patterns.
sun, moon, earth
The document discusses the sun-earth-moon system. It describes the moon's orbit and rotation, and how the moon's phases and eclipses occur due to its position relative to the earth and sun. It also notes some key facts about the moon, such as its temperature extremes, rotation and revolution periods matching earth's, and its lack of atmosphere and lighter gravity.
Earthmoon
The Earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit while rotating on its axis, causing day and night. The Moon revolves around the Earth and rotates on its own axis, with the same side always facing Earth. Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, while lunar eclipses happen when the moon passes through Earth's shadow. The moon's surface contains features like craters, volcanic domes, and lava plains called maria.
4 11 2017 rotation and revolution
This document discusses the relationships between the Earth, Sun, and Moon, and how they affect day and night, years, and seasons. It explains that the Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night, with a full rotation taking 24 hours. It also explains that the Earth revolves around the Sun over the course of 365 days, which divides the year into four seasons due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. Finally, it discusses how the Moon revolves around the Earth over 29 days, and how the changing positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon cause the Moon's phases.
What can we learn about the moon1
The document discusses the phases of the moon. It explains that the moon does not produce its own light, but rather reflects sunlight. As the moon orbits Earth, different portions are illuminated by the sun, appearing brighter or darker from Earth and causing the moon to seem to change shapes. The moon actually has the same shape as it rotates, but we see different phases depending on how much of the lit side is visible to us at a given point in the moon's orbit. The phases are caused by the changing angle of illumination as the moon circles Earth relative to the sun.
Lattitude and longitude
Latitude and longitude are used to identify locations on Earth. Latitude lines run east-west and are measured from the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and are measured from the prime meridian. Together, latitude and longitude provide a precise position. The Earth is also divided into 24 time zones that are each one hour apart, with the International Date Line separating days between Alaska and Russia.
Moon phases
The phases of the Moon are caused by the different angles at which we see the Moon as it orbits Earth and revolves around it. As it revolves, sometimes the illuminated half faces Earth, appearing as a full Moon, and other times none of the illuminated half can be seen from Earth, appearing as a new Moon. There are eight phases in total that the Moon cycles through - from new to waxing crescent to first quarter to waxing gibbous to full to waning gibbous to last quarter to waning crescent and back to new again.

KS2 Science Earth, Moon and Sun
The document discusses the Earth, Moon, and Sun. It states that the Earth is round and spins on its axis once every 24 hours, causing day and night. It orbits the Sun once every year. The Moon is much smaller than the Earth and orbits it once every 28 days, appearing to change shape because we only see the lit side. The Sun is a star that is much larger than the Earth and gives off heat and light.
The moon
The Moon revolves around the Earth while also rotating on its axis at the same rate, so the same side always faces the Earth. It does not produce its own light but reflects sunlight, leading to lunar phases that change depending on how much of its surface is illuminated. Eclipses occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned, causing either the Moon to block sunlight during a solar eclipse, or the Earth to block sunlight from the Moon during a lunar eclipse.
Eclips es 2010 rvf
Eclipses occur when one celestial body blocks the sunlight from reaching another. A solar eclipse happens during a new moon when the moon passes between the earth and sun, casting its shadow on earth. A lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon when the earth blocks the sunlight from reaching the moon, casting its shadow on the moon. Eclipses only occur when the sun, moon, and earth are precisely aligned in a straight line, which does not happen every month due to the tilt of the moon's orbit.
Shadows worksheet
The document contains instructions to illustrate the position of the sun and resulting shadows cast by a stick in the ground at different times of day: morning, midday, and evening. Diagrams are provided showing the stick, and the reader must add the sun in the appropriate rising, overhead, or setting position to show the direction and length of the shadow on the ground corresponding to the sun's location at each time. Additional clues about the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, as well as setting in the west when birds are in nests, help to identify the correct sun and shadow placements.
Day and night experiment
This document describes an experiment demonstrating how day and night occur on Earth due to its rotation. A stick is pinned through an apple with a hole, and a torch is shone through the hole. As the apple is rotated counterclockwise, replicating the Earth's rotation, the illuminated part of the hole changes, representing night and day. The experiment aims to show how different parts of the Earth experience day and night based on its 24-hour rotation on its axis.

- The respiratory system includes the nose, trachea, lungs and bronchi and functions to breathe in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.
- The digestive system includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver and anus. It functions to break down food into nutrients and eliminate waste.
- The skeletal system includes many bones that provide structure, protect organs, allow movement, and produce blood cells.
- The muscular system includes muscles that work with

The circulatory system carries nutrients and oxygen to the body using the heart and blood vessels. The heart is a muscular organ about the size of an apple that pumps blood through arteries to the entire body and veins back to the heart. Blood vessels are divided into arteries, veins, and capillaries. The excretory system removes toxic waste from the body using the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. The kidneys filter blood and remove waste, which travels through ureters to the bladder for storage until release. The digestive system breaks down food for energy using the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines and anus, while the respiratory system takes in oxygen through the nose, mouth, pharynx
Pregnancy powerpoint final
Pregnancy lasts about nine months as the embryo implants in the uterus and develops into a fetus. During this time, all the baby's organs form, they grow in size and weight, their bones harden, and they begin moving and practicing breathing. By the end of the nine months, the baby is ready to be born, weighing around 3.5 kilograms and measuring 50 centimeters long.
Reproductive systems
The document describes the basic anatomy and functions of the male and female reproductive systems. The male system includes the scrotum which houses the testes and helps keep sperm cool, the penis, and the production of millions of sperm cells. The female system includes the ovaries which produce eggs, the uterus or womb where fertilization may occur, and the natural death of unfertilized eggs.

We use our teeth and saliva to cut food into pieces, which then travels down the esophagus into the stomach where it mixes with gastric juices. In the small intestine, food further dissolves with pancreatic, liver, and intestinal juices and our body absorbs nutrients into the bloodstream. Remaining waste then moves into the large intestine where water is absorbed before final waste is expelled through the anus.
Worksheet 05 the circulatory system
The circulatory system carries nutrients and oxygen to all parts of the body and collects waste materials. It is composed of the heart and blood vessels. The heart is an organ made of muscle located in the chest that pumps blood through the arteries, veins, and capillaries, which circulate blood throughout the body and back to the heart.
Circulatory system pdf
The human circulatory system consists of three main parts: the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. The heart pumps oxygenated blood to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen is added back into the blood. The oxygen-rich blood is then pumped by the heart throughout the body via arteries and returns via veins, supplying cells with oxygen and nutrients and removing waste before repeating the cycle again.
Body systems standarts and ft
The document outlines an assignment for students to research and present on one of the major human body systems. Students will take on the role of doctors, creating a 5-minute presentation and poster to convince an audience of the importance of their chosen system. They must describe the system's functions, organs, importance to vital life functions, and potential problems or diseases if not cared for properly. Students will be evaluated based on inclusion of parts, description of functions, discussion of healthy habits, and persuasiveness. They will also take notes during other presentations and submit a written revision of what was learned about different systems.
Weather and climate_around_the_world_2
This document summarizes different climate types around the world. It describes tropical climates as hot and humid with rainfall throughout the year. Desert climates are dry, with little rainfall and large temperature drops at night. Temperate climates vary, with some regions having rainfall throughout the year while others are drier in the summer. Polar climates are cold throughout the year with frequent snow. Charts showing monthly temperature and rainfall data are provided for example cities representing each climate type.
Climates of the wold
This document lists 9 locations around the world and the continent they are located in. The locations include Barcelona and Navacerrada in Spain (Europe), Dakar in Senegal (Africa), Barrow in Alaska (United States), London in England (Europe), Paris in France (Europe), Jakarta in Indonesia (Oceania), and San Pedro de Atacama in Chile (South America).
Measuring rain and temperature
The document instructs the reader to record daily temperature and rainfall over the course of a week, make predictions about the range and conditions, and then report the results in a diagram. It asks the reader to make predictions about whether the week will be hot, cold, warm or cool, and the highest and lowest expected temperatures. It also asks them to predict if it will rain a lot, a little, or not at all. The reader is then meant to record their results in a diagram and draw conclusions.
Climates in the world
This document discusses different climate types and provides instructions for an activity where students choose a place to live based on its climate and other factors. The three main climate types are tropical, polar, and temperate. Students are asked to describe the characteristics of each climate type on a map. They then select a place they would like to live and justify their choice by discussing the location's climate, continent, country, sights to see, and their personal reasons for choosing it. As an example, the document describes someone choosing to live in Salvador, Brazil for its tropical climate, beaches, historical sites, and proximity to rainforests. Students are then asked to research and write an essay about a place representing different climates to present at

Senses workheet
The document discusses the five basic human senses and their corresponding sense organs. It provides information about each sense organ and what function it serves. The senses are sight (eyes), touch and feel (skin), hearing (ears), smell (nose), and taste (tongue). Rhyming passages and songs are included to help teach and reinforce which organ is associated with each sense.
With our eyes we
The document describes the five senses - sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. For each sense, it provides a stanza personifying that sense (e.g. an eye, ear, finger, nose, mouth) and describing its function, like seeing with our eyes, hearing with our ears, touching with our fingers, smelling with our nose, and tasting with our mouth. It concludes by thanking the reader and restating the five senses.
The five senses final task
This document outlines the final tasks students will complete to evaluate their understanding of the five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. It describes several group and individual assignments including creating displays about the eye and ear, conducting experiments on taste and smell, investigating apples using all five senses, and designing an informational leaflet about caring for sensory organs. Students will be assessed based on their work on the displays, presentations, experiments, reports, and leaflet. The assignments are aimed at practicing vocabulary like adjectives and learning about topics like taste buds.

Seasons cloze
- 1. It’s a world of two halves…. The Earth is a sphere and is split into two halves by an imaginary line called the ___________________. The top half is called the _______________ ________________ and the bottom half is called the _____________________ ___________________. Draw the North Pole and the South Pole on this picture of the Earth. Then add some countries (remember the Earth is titled!). Finally, label the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Why do we have seasons? We have seasons because the _________________ orbits the ______________. It takes the Earth __________________ days (or one year) to orbit the Sun. Because the Earth is ________________ on its axis, at all times of the year one _______________________ is always tilted either ________________________ or _________________ from the Sun. In the hemisphere that is tilted towards the Sun, it is _________________ because the Sun’s rays hit that hemisphere more strongly. In the hemisphere that is tilted away from the Sun it is ___________________ because the Sun’s rays take longer to reach it and so they lose some of their strength. That’s why it’s __________________ in Winter! Northern Hemisphere equator Southern hemisphere away Earth colder tilted hemisphere 356¼ Winter Sun towards Summer
