Describe how the weather changes with the seasons.

Northern Hemisphere

Spring
Use a globe revolving around a
light to visualize how the tilt of
the
earth
causes
changing
seasons in one hemisphere, and
the opposite season in the other
hemisphere.

Southern Hemisphere

The Earths axis has a 23.5 degree tilt.

Get a paper circle and fold it in half four
times (to make 1/16 slices.) Each slice
is 22.5 degrees. Compare that to the
23.5 degree tilt of the Earth.

For example, it is summer in the
northern hemisphere because the earth
is tilted toward the sun and winter in
the southern hemisphere because it is
tilting away from the sun at the same
time.

To make it easier: locate summer in the

north. Then locate winter. Use the
arrows on the diagram to place fall and
spring. The southern hemisphere is the
opposite.
