Slide 4: Earth's shifting elliptical path
Earth's motion lesson slide introduces a video and describes its combined galactic motion as a corkscrew.
Slide 5: Earth's motion and a video prompt
Think About It lesson slide asks three questions about seasonal heat, Sun distance, and equatorial temperatures.
Slide 6: Three questions about seasons
Pontianak lesson slide charts monthly average high and low temperatures and maps its equatorial location.
Slide 7: Equatorial temperature example
Seasons lesson slide rejects the idea that summer and winter result from Earth's distance from the Sun.
Slide 8: A misconception about seasonal temperatures
Seasons lesson slide identifies Earth's tilt as the primary cause and labels a diagram of its 23.5° tilt.
Slide 9: Earth's tilt and the seasons
