MONDAYS ONLY: Reasons for the Seasons

by  Cleveland Museum of Natural History

Program image

Find out the real reasons that we have seasons (it isn’t the varying distance of the Earth from the Sun). We’ll see seasonal changes of the skies from your location, with additional views from other parts of the globe.

Program Details

Format

1. This program begins with a tour of the current evening sky.
2. We then discuss Earth's motions and uncover the true reasons why we experience seasonal changes throughout the year.
3. Participants view high-resolution imagery, exploring seasons at various locations on Earth and beyond.
4. Time is allowed for questions and answers.

Objectives

- Describe how Earth’s axial tilt and orbit give rise to the seasons
- Recognize that Earth’s varying distance from the Sun does not determine the seasons
- Investigate whether or not other planets in the Solar System have seasons

OHIO'S LEARNING STANDARDS

Grade 5
Science: Earth and Space Science – Cycles and Patterns in the Solar System
- The Sun is one of many stars that exist in the Universe.
- Most of the cycles and patterns of motion between the Earth and Sun are predictable.

Grade 6
Science: Earth and Space Science – Matter and Motion
- There are two categories of energy: kinetic and potential.
- An object’s motion can be described by its speed and the direction in which it is moving.

Grade 7
Science: Earth and Space Science – Cycles and Patterns of the Earth and the Moon
- The relative patterns of motion and positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun cause solar and lunar eclipses, tides, and phases of the Moon.
- Thermal-energy transfers in the ocean and the atmosphere contribute to the formation of currents, which influence global climate patterns.
