Subject: So how DOES our solar system work?

In preparing a last-day-before-the-holiday lesson on the solstice I happened upon the webpage noted below. Perhaps it would make a good quiz for students after we teach them about the orbital patterns of the earth and moon.

For your unit grade:

Question 1: How many things can you find that are represented incorrectly in this animation?
Question 2: How many things can you find that are correctly represented?

No wonder the site is called fear of physics.
