“Motion of the Earth”.

Rotation Students will be Developmentary Question :

able to describe 1.When does star appear in the sky? At night.
about rotation of 2.How does night occurs on the Earth? Due to its rotation.
Earth.
Teacher’s Statement :
Students, The movement of the earth
on its axis, is called Rotation. This
rotation of the earth completes in Students are listening carefully.
approximately 24 hours. Due to its
rotation day and night occurs on the
earth.

Teacher’s Statement :
The movement of the earth around the
sun in a fixed path or orbit is called
Revolution. It takes 365 and ¼ days (one
year) to revolve around the sun. Students are listening carefully.
We consider a year as consisting of
365 days only. Remaining 6 hours (1/4
days) saved every year are added to
make one days (24 hours) over a span of
four years. Such a year with 366 days is
called a Leap year.

Orbital plane Students will be Developmentary questions :-

able to describe 1.Give the another name for path of
the orbital plane. revolution of the earth. Orbit.
2.What is the shape of earth’s orbit? Problematic question.

Teacher’s Statement :
The plane formed by the orbit is known
as the Orbital plane. This orbital plane of
the earth is elliptical in shape. Students are listening carefully.
The axis of the earth which is an
imaginary live, makes an angle of 66 and
half degree with its orbital plane.

Seasons of the Students will be Developmentary questions :-

Earth able to know more 1.Which season do you love the most? Rainy season, winter season etc.
about seasons on 2.In which seasons do we mostly like the
Earth. ice-cream? Summer season.
