Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
This lesson assessment helps students connect the Sun's path and Earth's movements to seasonal changes. Encourage students to observe the images closely and use critical thinking to answer questions. The table and graph activity reinforces data interpretation skills. The final question prompts students to synthesize their understanding of patterns and explanations. Use the answers to gauge student comprehension of Earth's rotation, orbit, and how these affect daylight and seasons.
