Earth's Orbit and the Seasons Diagram for Coloring and Labeling

A great visual for children to color and label, following your seasons lesson. This diagram shows and describes how the tilt of the Earth's poles contribute to warm and cold seasons in the Northern hemisphere.

Children fill in blanks to label the Earth's season during each part of its orbit - Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, and colour the pictures of Earth, to show where the Sun's light hits the Earth the most. Dotted lines on the Earth pictures help show where the light boundary is. We've made an effort to make the pictures look as realistic as possible.

Two diagram versions are available in this package. Each is also accompanied by its own fully colored and completed reference chart. These could also be used on a computer projector or overhead, to teach a lesson about the seasons. One diagram simply has label spaces for each of the seasons, and an explanation at the top. The other diagram version has a simple explanation beside each Earth picture, describing how the tilt of the Earth causes the light from the Sun to heat the Earth a certain way during each of the seasons.

We hope this ends up being a wonderful addition to your seasons unit.
