Cold
Winter is here. It gets cold.
The sun shines for less time
each day. This makes it colder.
The northern part of Earth tilts
away from the sun. The suns
rays hit it less directly. This
makes it colder too.
Snow
Ice forms around dust specks
in the sky. These become
snowflakes.
Snowflakes fall. There are
snowstorms in winter.
What Do You See?
What warm clothes do you see?
Changes

What Do You See?

Some plants die. Many stop
growing.
What Do You See?
What is growing?
Soon, weather warms. Snow
melts. Spring arrives.
