Seasons Globe
Earth's fixed axial tilt changes how directly sunlight hits each hemisphere: direct light is concentrated, while slanted light spreads the same energy over more area and heats less.

What your child will figure out
- Predict that Earth's axis stays pointed in the same direction as Earth orbits the Sun.
- Predict which hemisphere has summer from Earth's tilt and orbit position.
- Explain that slanted sunlight heats less because the same light spreads over more area.
- Solve generated season scenarios while adaptive difficulty responds to accuracy, speed, and hints.
The levels
- A compass in space
Predict how the tilted axis behaves through one orbit, then explain the fixed-direction rule.
- Who gets summer?
Use the June tilt to predict which hemisphere receives more direct sunlight.
- Why angle matters
Predict and explain how an equal bundle of slanted light spreads across a surface.
- December in Sydney
Transfer the fixed-tilt and beam-spread rule to December in the Southern Hemisphere.
