This activity is to teach kids about seasons in a visually interesting way.

Introduction:

Seasons are caused due to the Earth’s changing relationship to the Sun. The Earth travels around the Sun in an orbit, once a year or rather every 365 days. As the Earth orbits the Sun, the amount of sunlight each location on the planet Earth gets everyday changes slightly. This change causes the seasons.
