You can engage your students with this comprehensive PowerPoint presentation on Earth’s tilt and the seasons.

The resource covers key topics, including why Earth has a 23.5 degree tilt, how this tilt creates seasonal changes, the role of solstices and equinoxes and why the hemispheres experience opposite seasons. It includes information about how equatorial areas have wet and dry seasons and highlights how constellations mark seasonal changes, a tradition used by First Nations Australians. Packed with helpful visuals, this presentation makes complex seasonal concepts accessible for students.

You might find it useful to complete the Seasons Folding Diagram as a fun follow-up activity.
