Every season there are changes in weather, temperature and how much daylight we have each day.

In summer it gets light early and stays light for longer.

There’s more sunshine in the summer months and it’s warmer.

The days are longer in summer, shorter in spring and autumn and shortest in winter.

This means that the nights are longest in winter, shorter in spring and autumn and shortest in summer.

There are differences in plant life during the seasons.






Here are two pictures of trees at night.

Can you guess whether it’s summer or winter? How do you know?






Living things react to changes around them. Sunflowers turn to face the sun.

Many flowers close their petals at night when it’s dark.

In springspringspringspring the weather usually turns warmer, leaves start to grow on the trees, daffodils appear, young animals such as lambs and ducklings are born and, it stays light for longer in the evenings.

This table shows you how the seasons affect a deciduous tree during one year.

Growth slows down, fruits and seeds ripen and fall off. Leaves change colour and fall from the tree.

Begins to get cooler again as the days shorten and get darker.

Autumn

Leaves are fully developed, the tree grows, flowers die off, fruits and seeds appear.

Much warmer with long, hot days that have lots of light and much more sunshine.

Summer

New growth starts, buds begin to open, flowers blossom.

Begins to get warmer and the days start to get longer with more light. Insect activity increases round the tree.

Spring

No leaves, very little happens. The trees look dead.

Cold temperatures and short days with not so much light during the day.

A late spring means that the days stay colder and plants don’t start to grow until it gets warmer.

A late autumn means that the days stay warmer, leaves stay longer on the trees and flowers still bloom.

The Earth is always spinning around but we can’t feel it spin. It takes 24 hours (a whole day and night) to spin round once.

In daylight

In darkness

While it’s spinning, the part of the Earth that faces the Sun will be in daylight.

The EquatorEquatorEquatorEquator is an invisible line round the centre of our planet Earth. It is usually hotter near the Equator.

It gets colder the nearer you get to the North Pole and the South Pole.

The Sun’s rays heat up the Earth but are more spread out away from the Equator.

The seasons happen because of the Earth moving round the Sun and tilting towards or away from the Sun.

SAMPLE SLIDE


The Earth is always tilted to one side.

As the Earth moves round the Sun, this tilt means that sometimes

the top half of the Earth (the Northern Northern Northern Northern HemisphereHemisphereHemisphereHemisphere) leans towards the Sun.

Northern Hemisphere

Southern Hemisphere


Sometimes the bottom half of the Earth (the Southern HemisphereSouthern HemisphereSouthern HemisphereSouthern Hemisphere) leans towards the Sun.

When one of the hemispheres leans

towards the Sun, it will be summer time there

and winter in the other hemisphere.

Why do our seasons change?Why do our seasons change?Why do our seasons change?Why do our seasons change?

Our seasons change because the Earth always tilts to one side as it spins around the Sun and this gives us our different seasons.

When the North Pole tilts towards the Sun

it’s summer in the Northern

Hemisphere.

Which hemisphere do

we live in?

SAMPLE SLIDE


When the North Pole tilts away from the Sun it’s winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in

the Southern Hemisphere.

North Pole

Southern Hemisphere


In winter the Sun’s rays are spread out. That is why it’s colder.


By spring, the Earth has moved around the Sun.

The days start to get longer and the Sun’s rays make it feel warmer.

SAMPLE SLIDE


We also have more hours of

daylight.

In summer we have days that are much warmer than at any other time

of the year.SAMPLE SLIDE


By the time it’s autumn the Earth has moved round and the weather starts to get colder while our hours of daylight become shorter.


In the United Kingdom, our seasons include spring (beginning at the time of the spring equinox on about the 21st of March), summer (beginning at the time of the summer solstice on about the 21st of June),

autumn (beginning at the time of the autumnal equinox on about the 22nd of September) and winter

(beginning at the time of the winter solstice on about the 21st of December).
