11/30 Homework

For those of you needing to make up work for today. Please watch the short seasons film below. Long ago before we understood the scientific reason for why the seasons change people made up reasons based on what they knew. In ancient Greece people believed that the wife of the under lord went to visit him in the winter, and so the Earth became cold and barren. You may make up your own mythical reason for the change of seasons. Your other option is to make a model of the Earth's seasons, and bring it to school tomorrow.

Seasons

This site will take you to what we watched in class today about how seasons change.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuiQvPLWziQ&feature=related
