Seasonal Changes in the Winter

Outcomes:
1-6:- Describe seasonal changes and interpret the effects of seasonal changes on living things.
1. Describe the regular and predictable cycle of seasonal changes:
-changes in sunlight
-changes in weather
2. Identify and describe examples of plant and animal changes that occur on a seasonal basis:
-changes in form and appearance
-changes in location of living things
