Earth and Space K to 2 Enquire Now It’s all about the seasons & observable changes! How does Earth’s tilt affect the seasons? Why is the Earth tilted anyway? How do daily changes affect the environment? Why is daylight a different length in summer vs. winter? How do clouds form and how do we measure the weather? Why do some clouds spin? All this and more is covered in this hands-on school science incursion where students can explore these topics in detail. Students will gain an appreciation of how the world we experience is influenced by the seasons & daily cycles. Full risk assessments available on request. Available as a primary school science incursion within Australia or as a video conference to any school around the globe! Looking for a similar workshop but for Year 3 to 6? Check out Earth, Sun & Moon which looks more deeply the characteristics & the relationships of these celestial bodies. Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the same curriculum points will be covered, but the activities may vary from those listed for face-to-face incursions. Our online classes include demonstrations, Q&A, and hands-on activities (you will receive a materials list upon booking). Full child protections are in place We usually connect to classes & homes via Zoom, however if you wish to use a different software we can work with you on getting the connection live. If you connect with us via Zoom Full system requirements for Zoom here Each student should test their Zoom connection here. Once the date & time is arranged we will send you simple connection instructions (one click & you’re in!)
