A full 1 hour lesson. Lesson plan refers to 50 minutes but it is easily 1 hour or more depending on how much time you want to provide. I included this because you can understand each part. All sensitive information is removed. I have also included a section for a Plan B, in case the class does not go to plan. A brief starter about each season to assess their prior knowledge and the importance of knowing this information. E.g. Would you wear a warm coat in the summer? A merry-go-round activity with stations. This saves lots on resources as you only need 6 sheets. Depending on the level of your class, you can remove more information, and remove the bold font as hints. Depending on your student’s knowledge, you may want to explain some things first or change some information. For example, food chains/ webs.
