Winter

See Lesson Ideas for this topic

Learning about seasons and weather helps your children understand the natural world around us. Invite your children to share their experiences with weather and seasons and then build on their knowledge to teach how and why seasons and weather change. We recommend screening Seasons before watching other movies on specific seasons to provide a general overview and to review basic science concepts. The Winter movie goes more in depth about the season and explains how Earth’s axis and orbit around the Sun causes winter. It also discusses a few key weather conditions, such as rain, snow, and sleet.
