This science scheme of work for Key Stage One gets the children to identify, observe and record some of changes to the natural world during the winter season including changes to daylight hours, temperature and animal habitats. The class can keep a record of what is happening to the daily weather during the winter season.

Identify, observe and record some of changes to the natural world during the winter season including changes to daylight hours, temperature and animal habitats

Lesson One : Summer or Winter

Identify, describe and compare typical weather patterns that can be experienced between different seasons during the year

Lesson Two : Snow and Ice

Identify, describe and compare some of the special common weather patterns that can be experienced during the winter season

Lesson Three : Daylight

Lesson Four : Winter Birds

Name, describe and compare some common British birds that might visit a family garden or school grounds and describe ways to care for them during winter

Lesson Five : Temperature

Explore and test some of the changes that can happen to water resulting from cold weather that can be experienced during the winter

Lesson Six : Winter Weather

Observe, describe and keep a record of some of the changes that are occurring in the weather during the winter season
