The Sun is the reason for Seasons - Free Season Worksheet

 

A flashlight can help explain why Earth has seasons. When the flashlight shines directly at a 90° angle, the light and energy are concentrated in a small area. When the flashlight is tilted to a lower angle, the same energy spreads over a larger area, making the light less intense.

Earth is tilted about 23.5 degrees on its axis as it revolves around the Sun. During summer in the Northern Hemisphere, sunlight hits more directly, concentrating energy and creating warmer temperatures. During winter, sunlight strikes at a lower angle, spreading the energy out and causing cooler temperatures. In spring and fall, the sunlight angle is between summer and winter, leading to moderate temperatures. Direct and indirect sunlight caused by Earth’s tilt is the main reason for the seasons.

Earth Science Vocabulary - Water Cycle Vocabulary - Free Worksheet

 

This video reviews key Earth Science vocabulary: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration, and infiltration.

• Evaporation is when liquid water changes into water vapor because of heat.
• Condensation happens when water vapor cools and turns back into liquid, forming clouds or droplets.
• Precipitation is water that falls from clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
• Transpiration is when plants release water vapor through tiny openings in their leaves.
• Infiltration is when water soaks into the soil and moves underground.
