spring

This is a truncated, secular (with nothing to offend creationists) version of our Science of Seasons book. Get the full version here!

This mini-book teaches students the science behind the seasons. Print, cut, and staple the pages together to read about the following topics:

• The earth and its orbit around the sun
• The spring and winter equinox
• The solstices
• Why we have day and night
• The perihelion and aphelion
• How the sun changes the earth’s temperature
• Direct and indirect light and heat from the sun
• The sun’s changing path in the sky
• The Northern and Southern Hemispheres
• The climate at the equator
• Characteristics of the seasons and when they occur

Every page is lovingly hand-illustrated in a hybrid comic-storybook style, with helpful pictures to demonstrate the science concepts.

You get this mini-book in TWO sizes. The smaller book has 4 pages per printed page to cut out. The larger book has 2 pages per printed page. Pick which one is right for you. :-) Each book has 21 pages.
