4. VK Rotation only

TEK 5.9

Objective:

I can demonstrate that Earth
rotates on its axis once
approximately every 24 hours
and explain how that causes
the day/night cycle and the
appearance of the sun
moving across the sky,
resulting in changes in
shadow positions

​Make observations about the Earth as you watch

Open Ended

What are some observations you made during the previous video?

In other words, what did you notice?

For example "I noticed that the earth...."

You don’t not feel it, but the Earth is constantly rotating (spinning)

Today’s biggest takeaway: It takes the earth 24 hours to complete one rotation
