The Four Seasons
Grade One
What is a season?
• A season is one of 4 periods in a year.
• Each season lasts about 3 months.
• In each season, there are changes in
temperature, weather and length of daylight.
Why do we have seasons?
• Seasons are caused by the earth’s position in
relation to the sun.
• The seasons change as the earth moves
closer or farther away from the sun.
Some places don’t have seasons.
Why?
• Some places are close to the center of the
earth near the equator
• These places do not move closer or farther
away from the sun.
• Because of this, these places stay very
warm all year round.
