Gizmo
The factors that cause the seasons are the angle in which the earth is facing the sun and the other factor is the intensity of the sun. During the summer one part of the earth faces the sun directly which causes the other part of the earth to have winter.During the summer we have longer days which is caused by the sun being higher in the sky.It is also caused by the sun being more intense and the increase of solar intensity.

Perspective
Mrs. Casey showed us the book called "Zoom," which actually had no words. It started out with the rooster and it ended up with a picture of the earth. It would start with a picture, then zoom out to a billboard, then a postcard or a magazine. It deals with the perspective because everyone the class saw it different way. Everyone had also different predictions about what they're going to see next.
I've seen something differently by using a new perspective. "Zoom"was a good example of perspective because nobody knew what was going to happen next and if it would stop zooming. Things that help me alter my perspective are seeing movies, reading books, and other staff like that because it gives me more information. I try to think bigger and not be so narrow-minded.
In science, different people deal with different kinds of information. For example zooming out would interest astronauts because they study the universe. When we study astronomy we should be aware of the way we see things. We should do this because we need to think big about what we're studying.
