Technology powerpoint ppt

Third Grade

We can’t escape the world around us. For students as young as elementary school, they are fascinated by the smallest things. The topic of seasons is far from

small. How can it be so hot in July, but so cold in December?They know that the weather is going to change due to which season we are in but do not

know the understanding of why the season change. Teaching them about the Earths rotation around the

sun and it’s tilt will open up their minds and fascinate them even more. They can’t see what actually happens in space, but with the help of

technology we can definitely give them the understanding of it.
