Mimmo's 14th Blog

What science ideas did you learn?

This week we learned a tiny bit more with tides, but very little. We mainly learned about why we have seasons. Many people these days don't really know why we have seasons, but I do. W learned that we have season because the earth tilts back and forth towards the sun so in the summer the sun is direct and in the winter the sun is indirect.

How did you learn these ideas?

We learned this idea because Fins asked us why we had seasons and made us look at a diagram of the earth rotating around the sun and we had to come up with hypothesises. Finally we put them all together and took out the incorrect ones.

Why is it important to know this idea (What real world application is there)?

It is important to know this because one day I could be on a game show with the million dollar question and it could be why do we have seasons. Then I could think back to 8th grade science and win the money.
