Substrand: "3.6 Day and night" (20 periods)

The spinning of the earth in space gives us day and night. At different times, some parts of the earth receive sunlight while shadows fall on other parts. The parts of the earth that receive sunlight experience day and those parts in shadows experience night. This daily change influences the lives of plants and animals differently.
