Performance / Benefits

This kit supports homeschool learning by turning abstract explanations into an interactive model. As students assemble and observe the system, they gain a clearer understanding of why day follows night, how the Sun's position affects lighting, and how rotation influences seasons. It builds scientific reasoning, data observation, and the ability to explain findings in simple terms. The activities align with common science curricula and can be used as a hands-on project within Earth science, astronomy, and geography units.

• Hands-on exploration of the day-night cycle and Earth's rotation
• Supports independent study or guided lessons at home
• Encourages inquiry, measurement, and data interpretation
• Pairs with lesson plans on solar positioning, shadows, and seasons
