Seasons

=Seasons=

Questions: ==[|Kathy], [|Andrew], [|Zeeshan], and [|Shivani] did research on seasons in the Northern Hemisphere.==
 * What seasons do you have?
 * What time of year does each season occur?
 * What changes occur with each season?
 * What season effects do we have?

Seasons are caused the tilt of the earth. This affects us because in the Northern hemisphere's winter, the sun is directed at the Southern hemisphere. This makes the weather there warmer than our weather.

When the northern half of the earth is pointing towards the sun, the other half is pointing away from the sun. This is why your seasons depend on where you are living right this very instant. Sometimes, both sides have equal amount of sunlight. Guess when that happens. Spring and autumn!

1. Autumn - September, October, November, December Leaves turn different colors (of deciduous trees only) It gets colder Windy Not a lot of sun and clear skies Skies aren't that bright blue they are fierce and grayish 2. Spring - March, April, May, June It gets warmer flowers bloom very rainy bright blue skies sunny and warm mild weather and mostly precipitates 3. Summer - June, July, August, September It's the hottest season of the year in the Northern hemisphere. People go to the beach The sun is really high in the sky The days are longer Very HOT 4. Winter - December, January, February, March It's the coldest time of year Snow and other types of precipitation fall a lot(like hail, sleet, etc.) There are no leaves on deciduous trees Everybody wears their heavy coats



In New Zealand we have four seasons- summer, autumn, winter and spring.
We are having summer now and it is December.



We have seasons because the world is on a bit of a tilt and the the warmest bit is closest to the sun.

In summer we go to the beach, go camping or swimming in the sea. Summer is December, January and February.

In autumn the leaves fall off the deciduous trees but most native trees are evergreen. Autumn is March, April and May.

In winter we go to the snow, sit by the fire and have a nice big roast and a cup of cocoa. Winter is June, July, and August.

In spring we play with the lambs and watch the blossoms on the fruit trees. Spring is September, October and November.
