Use this comprehensive worksheet booklet as part of your teaching and learning sequence when completing a unit of work around the Earth’s rotation on its axis, which causes regular change. Students will complete worksheets on topics such as include:

• Exploring Size - This investigation will help students understand and compare the size of the sun and moon, addressing misconceptions that the sun and moon are the same sizes.
• The Sun as a Source of Light – Another investigation into light and shadows. As students observe the movement and change in the shape of shadows, they will begin to make connections between night and day.
• Exploring Movement – A cut and paste activity for students to show their understanding of the Earth and moon’s movement.
• Making a sundial – This hands-on activity will show how ancient civilisations used the movement of the sun to tell time. Students will make connections to modern clocks and the sun.
• Indigenous perspectives – Look at how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples understood phenomena in the sky and passed this knowledge on through cultural stories.
