This challenging worksheet asks second graders to reason about why seasons change and how living things respond. Part A offers four multiple-choice questions about trees losing leaves, what causes the seasons, and which season has the shortest days. Part B includes five fill-in-the-blank sentences about hibernating bears, spring planting, and the longest day of the year.
It builds critical thinking and connects weather, seasons, and animal behavior into one cohesive science lesson.
