Night and Day Rotation Animation

This animation demonstrates why we have night and day.

An accompanying quiz strategically asks questions that gives teachers the opportunity to dig deeper into student thinking with questions such as "why do you think that?" and "If that were true, what would you expect to happen if?".

Students can then use the interactive to check their ideas.

Day and Night - Student Misconceptions

This online resource looks at misconceptions about day and night.

The resource helps teachers understand the possible misconceptions younger students hold about day and night and how they contrast to scientific views. It outlines critical teaching ideas with references to research and literature to support, and provides ideas for ways to teach how the relationship of the Sun and the Earth creates day and night.
