This is a great resource for students who are verbal and visual learners learning about the earths tilt and terms used such as equinox and solstice.

This can be used as a good summative assessment for students to use imagery, word association, and reasoning skills to draw and write about their favorite season.

This can be used as a handout for students to keep as a resource to help them create word associations to the four different seasons.

I fount this resource to be a great way for upper level students to read and see the months associated with the different seasons. This article also shows students a more complex picture about the tilt of the earth and the four seasons along with the Summer Solstice, Winter Solstice, Vernal Equinox, and Autumnal Equinox.

Meteorologists define seasons a little differently than most. Instead of using the periods between solstices and equinoxes (or vice versa), we go by calendar month. For example:

Meteorological Spring: March, April, May

Meteorological Summer: June, July, August

Meteorological Fall: September, October, November

Meteorological Winter: December, January, February

The more-often used "astronomical" definition of the seasons is not quite as simple. For example, a traditionally defined Winter would begin on the Winter Solstice (which can fall on December 21st or 22nd) and end on the Vernal Equinox (which can fall on March 19th, 20th, or 21st)

Because these dates are not consistent, the length of seasons can vary from year to year. That makes it very difficult for us in the weather industry to compute and meaningfully compare seasonal data, which is important for agriculture, trade, and much more.

Using our month-based definition instead, the amount of days in any given season is always the same... unless it's a leap year! But that's only one season every four years. It's still more consistent, so we'll take it!

This is a classic book for students to read during the Winter time. It shows students what children do in the Winter and what it is like during that time of the year.

This has three activities that will be nice for hands on and visual learners. It is an activity but it gives students a break from notes/lectures and allows them to get creative and interactive with the lesson.

Teaching Seasons - 4 Craft Activities for the Classroom

This shows students all four seasons. In the fall part of the game students will work on shape and color association. In the winter part of the game they will understand the types of clothes that are worn in that season. In spring they learn that all the animals wake up and the sounds they make. In the summer the students will work on their color association while collecting food.

In this video we are explained the northern and southern hemisphere and the earths tilt causes seasons to occur. It also gives an activity to do in the classroom that will help hands on learners.
