🌎 Printable Science Posters 

What is the difference between rotation and revolution? When Earth rotates or spins, it moves around its own axis. Revolution, on the other hand, is when an object moves around another object. For this example, the Earth revolves or moves around the Sun in a counterclockwise manner. Teach Starter has a poster set ready for you if you are looking for some posters to use in your science classroom!

Each poster contains a visual graphic as well as information about:

• The definition of each term
• How long it takes to complete one movement
• How it affects time periods on Earth

How To Make the Most of Your Rotation vs. Revolution Poster Set

1. Print the posters and display them in your classroom for students to reference when doing independent work.
2. Print the posters, slip them into a clear sleeve, and use them in your guided groups as a reminder.
3. Print the posters, slide them into a clear sleeve, and hang them on a ring as a reference tool for a learning center.

We’ve also come up with bonus ways to turn posters into interactive tools that really make your Earth and Space lessons stick!

📝 Create a fill-in-the-blank worksheet by removing selections of text.

📂 Place copies in students’ homework folders for reference.

💻 Provide posters as digital resources for virtual students.

🧠 Test students’ memories by showing them the poster, then hiding it and having them tell you what they remember.

✅ Incorporate posters into your lesson wrap-up: students write on a sticky note what they learned from the lesson and place it on the poster.
