Something So Special About Seasons!

Teaching about the seasons and their impacts on our lives? Perhaps you’re exploring with your class how we, as humans, must adapt our clothing, transportation, nutrition and other needs based on the environmental conditions. 

This interactive activity is packed full of multiple-choice questions about the suitability of lifestyle choices and activities in certain seasons. 

Students will navigate through the steps and drag an element to solve the problem posed on each slide. 

The deck contains a title slide and seven activities. 

To use, open your file (either PowerPoint or Google Slides) in Edit mode and share with your class on your smartboard or projector. Alternatively, you may wish to assign this activity as an individual activity for your students’ Science lessons or homework!

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your Earth Sciences lessons!

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, we have a few suggestions for keeping students on track with these concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Supply students who require additional support with some visual learning tools to help them. You may wish to print a copy of The Earth’s Seasons Teaching Slides, which is rich with information and facts. 

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

Set your fast finishers the challenge of making ‘clue cards’ on a piece of paper. Get them to write clues that match a season and then use their cards to test a peer!

🧑‍🏫 Group Learning

Project the slides onto a screen and work through them as a class by having students record their answers in their notebooks or mini whiteboards.
