Assess your students’ science inquiry skills and understanding with this engaging investigation into Earth’s tilt.

Students will plan, carry out and evaluate an investigation comparing the area of light from a torch when applied at different angles to simulate the effect of Earth’s tilt.

The resource includes a detailed instructions page and scaffolded worksheets. For differentiation, there are duplicate pages offering a data table and graphing support. A comprehensive rubric is also provided, making assessment a breeze.

This resource aligns with the Year 6 Science Inquiry and Science Understanding strands of the Australian Curriculum, making it an ideal way to assess student learning. It is part of our Year 6 Earth & Space Sciences: Observing Space Patterns & Cycles UNIT PLAN.
