Sept14 Santa wears a Speedo?

Bell Activity:
Take some notes on the following info and clip.


The earths tilt causes different seasons between the north and south hemispheres.
Southern hemisphere during Christmas is hot= bbq, swimsuits, beaches!
The earth has seasons because it is tilted on its axis 23.5 degrees.
The tilt makes the sun hit the earth directly and indirectly causing temperature differences north and south.
This makes holidays feel different depending on where you are in the world.
Culture is directly affected by space....Awesome!!
