Seasons Worksheet #1

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

First, your earth science pupils determine what season is depicted in a diagram of the tilted Earth as it receives radiation from the sun. They answer multiple choice questions about occurrences at different points on Earth in the diagram. Finally, they choose a diagram of the sun's path across the sky during an indicated season. This makes a nice little follow-up to a video or demonstration activity explaining Earth's seasons as caused by its tilted axis.
