Students will understand how the sun creates seasons. Students will use graph paper to show the sun's distance and angle during various seasons. Students will analyze how the sun's position impacts seasons.

This reflection sheet goes along with the picture book, "What's Faster Than a Speeding Cheetah" by Robert Wells. This book is a great tool to use to teach about speed and distance traveled over time. It can also be used as a great introduction to light! Students will use the data found in the text to create a graph. This activity is an integrated lesson; including reading, math, and science!

This student centered lab will require a toy car and measuring tape/meter stick. Students will discover how force impacts the relationship between distance and time. Students will test and record their findings in the table and answer reflection questions.
