Seasons Through the year we observe changes in nature Plants and animals change We change our activities too Many animal babies are born in the spring Summer is a good time to eat ice cream 4
These changes happen every year To help us describe these changes we divide the year into four seasons We call them spring summer fall and winter Winter sometimes brings snow
The Earth and the Sun A year is the amount of time it takes our spinning planet Earth to go around the sun During half of the journey the North Pole tilts toward the sun During the other half the North Pole tilts away from the sun 6
It takes a whole year for the Earth to travel full-circle around the sun N Summer N S Winter S 7
