Explore the Science and Traditions of the March and September Equinoxes with This Engaging Activities Pack!
This comprehensive resource includes an original non-fiction reading passage about the science behind the equinoxes, how they affect nature, and equinox celebrations. The text is complemented by different forms of assessment that foster comprehension and critical thinking. Also included is a fun Word Search. Pick the activity you think is best for your students, or use all of them… they can be assigned as homework, too!
I recommend using this resource with Secondary School students. These activities are also suitable for ESL/ELL students whose level of English is Intermediate (B1-B2) or Advanced (C1-C2).
PRINT AND DIGITAL VERSIONS OF THE ACTIVITIES ARE INCLUDED.
