Both children and adults struggle to explain the cause of the day/night cycle and the seasons (Schoon 1995). Early elementary students may not be developmentally ready to explain that patterns of day and night are caused by Earth's rotation on its axis, or that the seasons are caused by Earth's tilted axis as the planet revolves around the Sun. However, when observing scientific phenomenon of day and night, they can notice different amounts of daylight throughout the year, and may wonder why this happens. To answer their questions, students can observe the Sun's apparent daily pattern of motion across the sky and see how this pattern changes throughout the year. This article explains how to use 360-degree photographs of the Sun's apparent daily pattern of motion across the sky at different times of the year (relative to a fixed object on Earth) to provide a realistic and accessible way for students to observe these patterns and explain annual daylight patterns.
