Seasons Patterns Earth Space Temperature Length of Day | 4th Grade Science
In this activity students will be placing facts about the patterns and effects of seasonal changes on the diagram of Earths labeled as April, June, September, and December. This can be used as a small group activity for high achieving regular and gifted classes, it may be difficult for some classes or students. If the diagram was printed poster size I think it could be used in any regular classroom as a whole group discussion activity.
