| Title: |
Is the Earth Really Round? |
| Description: |
Everyone "knows" that the Earth is round, but can we prove it? We don’t really need a satellite photo of Earth to determine that the world is round. This activity includes two demonstrations that prove the Earth is round. One involves shining lamps on flat and round objects and the other requires students to use models of the Earth, Sun, and Moon to observe the shape of the Earth’s shadow upon the Moon. Students can also observe a computer simulation of the Earth’s seasons as well as live video of a lunar eclipse. |
