Science

This term in Science, we have been investigating Day and Night. We have been busying learning about how the Earth rotates on its axis, which takes 24 hours to do a full rotation. This is what creates day and night. During the day, Australia is facing towards the sun and at night time our country is further away from the sun and in its shadow, which causes the dark night sky.

Did you know, it also takes a whole year for the Earth to orbit around the sun? This is what causes our seasons and different weather patterns. Pretty interesting right! Have a look at some of our investigation photos below!
