Why the Night Sky Changes: Earth’s Yearly Journey Through the Stars (Teach This Topic)
This plan supports a home-educated learner aged 11–16 in explaining why the night sky changes during the year. It separates Earth’s daily rotation from its yearly revolution and uses Orion, circumpolar stars, latitude and star charts to build understanding. It includes practical modelling, observation guidance, checks for understanding, adaptations, a final knowledge check and safe follow-up activities.
