Free Year 5 Science practice — explain day, night, the Sun’s apparent path, time zones and seasons. No account needed.
Explain day and night and the Sun’s apparent path using a rotating-Earth model, with bounded time-zone and season contrasts. Correct answers can trigger celebrations. Feedback and retry options depend on the game.

Curriculum anchor: England Year 5 Science: use Earth’s rotation to explain day/night and the apparent movement of the Sun across the sky.
This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.
Use a lamp and tilted globe: rotate for one day, then move the globe around the lamp while keeping its tilt direction fixed. Take a break when you need one.
