What a learner can do afterwards

  • Name the four seasons and describe typical weather for each
  • Describe how day length changes through the year (longer in summer, shorter in winter)
  • Give examples of changes in the natural world associated with each season (e.g. leaves, flowers, animal behaviour)

The lesson

Every year has four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Each one brings different weather.

springsummerfallwinter
The seasons repeat in this order every year.
Try it together

In fall, leaves turn orange and drop from trees. Squirrels gather nuts to store for winter.

Summer15Winter9
Summer has more daylight than winter.
Good to know

Look outside to guess the season. Snow means winter, and blooming flowers mean spring.

Four seasons repeat each year, each with its own weather and daylight.
