Patterns in Daylight Hours - Does DST Cause the Amount of Daylight to Change?
As the Earth rotates, it creates a daily pattern of shadows that students can observe and measure through hands-on activities. As the Earth revolves, it creates a seasonal pattern in the length of shadows that students can track over time. But Earth’s revolution also creates a pattern of changing daylight hours. Students may know from personal experience that the amount of daylight hours also changes. If you live in a place that observes Daylight Saving Time, students may falsely think that by c
