This quiz addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 Science for children aged 5 and 6 in years 1 and 2. Specifically this quiz is aimed at the section dealing with the seasons and different types of weather.
The weather is different from one season to another. It also changes very quickly from one type to another - wind and rain one day, sunshine and showers the next day. In science at school you have studied the weather. This quiz is all about different types of weather we get in the different seasons - from snow and ice in winter to hot, sunny summer days. See just how well you can do.
