A diagram showing the Earth's rotation around the sun and the corresponding seasons in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Explore What Causes the Changing Seasons!
Help your students discover the phenomenon of seasonal change! This informative poster contains an infographic which displays the cycle of the Earth throughout the year and the seasons in each of the northern and southern hemispheres. Students will then be asked to complete a worksheet template which prompts them to consider their own country’s location on the globe, and how the seasons work in their location.
