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!
