Sakina has been learning what causes days, nights, years and seasons

Science

• Sakina has learned that the rotation of the Earth on its axis causes day and night.
• She understands that the revolution of the Earth around the Sun causes the change of seasons.
• Sakina has grasped the concept that it takes the Earth approximately 365 days to complete one revolution around the Sun, resulting in a year.
• She has learned about the tilt of the Earth's axis and how it affects the length of daylight hours throughout the year.

In order to further develop Sakina's understanding of these concepts, encourage her to observe and record the changes in daylight and temperature throughout the year. She can create a calendar or journal to document these changes and make connections between the length of daylight, temperature, and the seasons. Additionally, she can engage in hands-on activities such as creating models of the Earth, Sun, and Moon to visualize the movements that cause days, nights, years, and seasons.
