Amanda is doing a report for her Earth Science class about the four seasons. Which of the following would be an effective scientific model to incorporate in her project?

An effective scientific model represents how a process works, not just what happens during it. Earth’s seasons result from the planet’s axial tilt as it orbits the Sun, so four Earth models showing different positions and tilts can illustrate the cause of the seasons. A calendar, weather pictures, or a temperature graph describes or records seasonal patterns but does not model their cause. The best answer is four Earth models lined up in order of season.
