Science
- Aiza learned that night and day happen because of the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
- She understood that during the day, the side of the Earth facing the Sun experiences daylight, while the other side experiences nighttime.
- Aiza learned that the difference between night and day is determined by the presence or absence of sunlight in a particular location on Earth.
- She also learned that different parts of the world experience day and night at different times due to time zones.
For continued development, Aiza can explore further by conducting simple experiments to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth and its effect on day and night. She can use a globe or a lamp to represent the Sun and observe how the light creates day and night on different parts of the globe as it rotates.
