Teacher tip
Kids love reading their own riddles aloud for the class to guess.
How to use it
- Look out the window and talk about the season right now.
- Use a globe and a lamp to show Earth’s tilt.
- Start with a two-minute “I notice, I wonder” talk about the picture on the sheet.
Watch for
Seasons are not caused by Earth being closer to the sun. They come from the tilt.
Talk about it
- What do you wear in each season?
- Where have you seen this outside of school?
