Bridgette, I am unsure of the grade level you are teaching. Please use the Explore All Resources button on the top menu for lessons, articles, etc. You can also consult ngss@nsta for classroom resources with lesson plans aligned to NGSS.

Hello Bridgette,

     There are a few ways you could use mathematical concepts such as sine functions and waves to model how the earths movement alters the length of day and night.  This could be a great science--math lesson that would put trigonometry in context and help explain a natural phenomenon.  I would be happy to help develop such a lesson, just let me know.

Thanks!
