Fascinating Fact:

Spring is the waking-up season, when buds open, lambs and chicks are born, and plants grow fresh green leaves.

In KS1 Science, children discover how the year is split into four seasons. They learn to spot changes in weather, daylight, plants, and animals as each season arrives.

Key Terms

Season: One of the four parts of the year: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Daylight: The time each day when it is light because the sun is in the sky.
Temperature: How warm or cold the air is outside.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are the four seasons in KS1 science?

In KS1 science, children learn about spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season has different weather, daylight hours, and changes in plants and animals.

How do seasons affect plants and animals?

Seasons affect how plants grow and when animals find food, have babies, or rest. For example, many plants grow in spring and summer and rest in winter.

Why do we have different seasons in the UK?

We have different seasons because the Earth orbits the Sun and is tilted. This tilt changes how much sunlight different parts of the Earth receive during the year.
