How is earth affected by movement (revolution)?
Earth's movement causes seasons. We have 4 different seasons . Summer, fall, winter and spring. Depending on the types of sunlight that earth is receiving determine the different seasons. For example In the northern and southern  Hemisphere, Earth receives both direct and indirect sunlight so they have all different seasons. In the equator the earth always receives direct sunlight and  it 's always summer over there.

Reflection

What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
I enjoyed editing the video, it was extremely fun. I  liked the whole editing process because I've learned  basic information on video editing. Video editing  was my favorite part of this project. I also enjoyed learning about massive movement of earth because it is always interesting to be informed about earth.

What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
Figuring out how to arrange the papers on the video was complicated. Even though we practiced doing it  a lot in class, I felt like It wasted much of our time. Recording the video was  challenging because we had to make sure that everything was  well organized and set to record the video.

What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
I learned how to edit video and I also learned to be more devoted, collaborative and responsible while working in a group.

Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? explain.
I could have made the video more creative if I labeled each section of the video like  the other students did. Since I wanted to do something unique so I tried to do my own thing and I still think it was a good idea . I like the outcome of my video. It was the first video I edited and I think  I did a pretty good job.
