This is a lesson for preschool kids. The lesson is about the 4 different seasons. Students will put different items of clothing/ seasonal decorations into 4 groups- WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, FALL. Here is a citation for the openly licensed thumbnail image--.Seasons of the Year, by Abby the Pup, Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0), from Wikimedia Commons.

This is a lesson about the 4 seasons. The goal is for students to learn the identifying characteristics and names of all four seasons. This lesson incorporates stories, songs, and hands-on activities to learn about all four seasons. This lesson is adaptable and includes accommodation ideas to meet student needs. This lesson will take approximately 80 minutes.

Students learn the cause of the seasons on Earth and how this affects temperatures on Earth. Students learn that seasons are the four distinct times of the year when there is a change in temperature on Earth.

Description:

Build a model of the Earth, with its spin-axis, and a lamp as the Sun to demonstrate the concept of seasons.

Goals

--Understanding why we have seasons and the cause of seasonal variation in temperature.
--Learning about how the Earth rotates on a tilted axis compared to its orbit around the Sun.

Learning Objectives

--Students learn about seasons by building a model of the Earth and the Sun, and investigating how sunlight hits the Northern and Southern Hemispheres during different seasons.
--Students explain that the same amount of light hitting the ground heats up a small area more than a large area
--Students show that the angle at which the sunlight hits the Earth influences how much the sunlight heats up the Earth.
Students demonstrate that the angle at which the sunlight hits the Earth is related to the tilt of the Earth’s rotational axis compared to the Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

Children will learn about the seasons and will engage in activities to help them deepen their understanding of the seasons.  

Students will list three or more types of evidence of prehistoric cultures that encouraged archaeologists to investigate the marshes around the Great Salt Lake. Students will also explain why it is important not to disturb archaeological remains.

In this lesson on Weather and Seasons, students will explore how weather changes by learning key vocabulary and describing the patterns of weather that occur in different seasons.

The seasons have nothing to do with how far the Earth is from the Sun. If this were the case, it would be hotter in the northern hemisphere during January as opposed to July. Instead, the seasons are caused by the Earth being tilted on its axis by an average of 23.5 degrees (Earth's tilt on its axis actually varies from near 22 degrees to 24.5 degrees). This article from the National Weather Service explains how it works.
