# Seasonal changes

Observe changes across the four seasons and describe weather associated with each season, including how day length varies

Subject: Science · Area: Earth's Systems · Ages 5 to 6
Page: https://lightmysky.com/learn/science/seasonal-changes-mt_go5i87u2b9

## Ready when they can

- 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)

## Lesson: The four seasons

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

*(drawing: The seasons repeat in this order every year.)*

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

*(drawing: Summer has more daylight than winter.)*

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

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