This
demonstration
uses
a
gyroscope
(a
bicycle
wheel
works
well),
string,
and
a
turntable
(optional)
to
show
how
the
equatorial
bulge
of
Earth
causes
precession.
By
balancing
the
spinning
bicycle
wheel
on
one
hand,
and
pulling
a
string
attached
to
the
top
axle
with
the
other,
the
axis
of
the
wheel
traces
out
a
circle
(precesses).
The
site
also
explains
how
the
moment
of
inertia
is
related
to
torque

This
lesson
demonstrates
the
link
between
the
tilt
of
the
Earth's
axis
to
the
plane
of
the
ecliptic
and
seasons
of
the
year,
length
of
day,
effectiveness
of
sunlight,
and
polar
day
and
night.
It
discusses
how
the
inclination
of
the
Earth's
rotation
axis
causes
seasons
of
the
year,
by
varying
the
length
of
the
local
day
and
the
angle
at
which
the
Sun's
rays
arrive
on
the
surface
of
the
Earth,
and
to

In this activity, students will use Moon and tide data from the internet to construct charts and answer questions about the patterns they see. They will be reminded that the Moon has something to do with ocean tides and will discover what the connections are. They will also discover when tides, moonrise and moonset, and phases of the Moon occur.

This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) site provides classroom resources about the Moon. A teacher's guide contains basic detailed information about the Moon, such as the lunar landscape, craters, and Moon rocks. The lesson plan and activities sections cover phases of the Moon, lunar landforms, a Lunar Prospector model, and orbits.
