¿Cómo sabemos que la Tierra es la que está girando y no el Sol?

One needs to be yellow to color the Sun and the other should be a dark color such as purple, blue, or black.

We suggest students work in pairs. Homeschool students will need a partner for the activity.
All students will be standing up and spinning in place throughout the activity with a place to view their paper Sun model. We find that placing the Sun model on a desk and standing about a foot behind the desk works well.
If you have a lamp or bright light, you can also use this as a model for the Sun. Just remind students NOT to look directly at the bulb.
