FAQ

What does seasonal sunlight teach first graders?

First graders learn that Earth's tilt causes different amounts of sunlight to reach us at different times of year, creating the seasons. They explore why summer has longer days and more direct sunlight, making it warmer, and why winter days are shorter and cooler.

When do first graders learn about seasonal sunlight?

Seasonal sunlight is typically introduced during a Grade 1 earth science unit on seasons or the sun and sky. Teachers connect it to students' lived experiences of summer vacations, winter holidays, and the changing length of their school days throughout the year.

How can I use these worksheets at home?

Compare your family's morning and evening routine in summer versus winter and ask your child why it's light outside at different times. Use the worksheet activities to connect those observations to what they're learning about Earth's tilt and the sun.
