Journey Through The Seasons’ Annual Cycle!

Take your students through a year in the life of the planet Earth, and a year of Earth’s inhabitants experiencing the four seasons; summer, autumn, winter and spring. 

Throughout this activity, students will learn interesting facts about the four seasons, as well as be exposed to information about the characteristics of each season. They will begin to consider how seasonal changes impact the environment, and in turn, affect human life. 

To use, open your file (either PowerPoint or Google Slides) in Present 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

Students who need scaffolding should be encouraged to work on the activity portion with a partner or in a small guided group with teacher support. 

➕ 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.
