Make observations at different times of the year - 1st Grade Science

The seasons are the four times of year that are broken up by characteristics. The Earth sits slightly tilted and travels around the Sun. Based on the Earth's location, the weather changes because of the amount of sunlight that part of the Earth is receiving.

Seasons are different because of their temperatures, the amount of daylight, and their weather. Winter is cold, summer is hot, spring is warm, and new plants start to grow, and fall is cooler with leaves changing on the trees. Each season is marked with unique characteristics.

The Sun does not set and rise at the same time every day throughout the year. The sunrise and sunset change slightly based on the Earth's slight tilt and where it is in its trip around the Sun.

The amount of daylight does change throughout the year. This is because of the Earth's tilt and position. Some seasons are warmer and have more sunlight, whereas others are cooler and have less sunlight.

During the day shadows change in length. When the Sun is directly above us our shadows are shorter, when the Sun is low in the sky our shadows are longer. This can be tested by going outside during different times on a sunny day and observing the length of your shadow.

Lisa observed this because of the Earth's tilt and position. During the summer, we are tilted towards the Sun, so our midday shadows are very short. During the winter, we have tilted away from the Sun, so our midday shadows are longer.

To make an observation means to watch something carefully and even take notes about it. In science, we collect data and information using our five senses to make conclusions about what we studied. Observing the experiment or investigation is important so you can gather evidence of what took place.

The sunrise and sunset do change daily, but not because of the Sun! The reason the times for sunset and sunrise change are because of the Earth's tilt and position. Depending on where the Earth is in its rotation and how it is tilted, the sunrise and sunset will change a little bit each day.

The Sun is different throughout the day because of its position in the sky. At noon it will be directly above our heads in the sky. At 7 PM, the Sun will be setting so it will be low on the horizon or even beginning to disappear below the horizon depending on location and time of year.

The four seasons are Summer, Fall (or Autumn), Winter, and Spring. Due to the Earth being slightly tilted, the seasons change as the Earth travels around the Sun.
