Day-Night Cycle Dynamics and Its Impact on Life

In this session, Mr. Lara guides students through understanding the day-night cycle using sketches. The activity involves calculating nighttime hours based on a 24-hour cycle, with 13 hours of daylight recorded. Students are encouraged to reflect on Earth's rotation and its impact on ecological and biological processes. The session also explores historical timekeeping and cultural adaptations to daylight changes, enhancing appreciation for natural cycles and preparing students for deeper scientific inquiries.
