Rotation & Revolution PowerPoint Pack

Our Rotation & Revolution PowerPoint Pack includes an editable 32 slide PowerPoint presentation, guided notes that go along with the presentation, cut & paste comparison table, Venn diagram, and a Rotation vs. Revolution Worksheet.

Earth’s Rotation & Revolution PowerPoint

The editable presentation has 32 slides that cover these terms and concepts: rotation, revolution, orbit, cause of day and night, cause of seasons, direct vs. indirect sunlight, line of cancer, line of capricorn, axis, solstice, equinox, etc.

Guided Notes

These guided notes follow the PowerPoint presentation seamlessly. The notes encourage students to fill in the blanks creating a great set of notes for study. We keep ours in our science notebook.

Cut & Paste Comparison Table

This is one of my favorite activities in this unit. Students get to cut and paste the descriptors into the correct column on the comparison table. Does it describe rotation or revolution?

Venn Diagram

After completing the comparison table activity, students are asked to complete the Venn Diagram. Students are encouraged to write 2-3 notes in each section. The center section, where the circles overlap, is for students to write similarities between the two concepts.

Rotation vs. Revolution Worksheet

This worksheet is an effective quiz or comprehension activity. If students can explain in their own words what each terms is, what is caused, and how long each takes to complete, then the students can prove their mastery of the learned material.
