6. As the World Turns… Gather around the globe. Identify the country you live in. Then identify the state that you live in. Label that state with highlighter tape. Turn off the lights. The darkness of the room represents the darkness of the sky that surrounds the Earth. The light from the flashlight represents the sun. Shine the flashlight on the globe, with the light pointing at the globe. If the light is shining on your state, “Is it daytime or nighttime?”
7. As the World Turns… Slowly turn the globe with out moving the flashlight. Examine how the sunlight falls on different areas of the Earth at different times. Watch for the moment that your state is opposite of the light. “Is it daytime or nighttime? Is there sunlight shining on the state we live in? Can we see the sun at night?”
