Sunshine Makes the Seasons

Sunshine Makes the Seasons is all about the sun and its characteristics. This book talks about what all the sun is actually part of in the world. There are effects to follow if the sun were to stop shinning. Although the sun shines all year long, we are colder in the winter and warmer in the

summer. To see the effects of the sun on the seasons, we can experiment. An orange, pencil, flashlight and marker would be needed for the experiment. One person holds the flashlight and the other holds the north and south labeled orange on the pencil. As the orange is rotated, the light that appears on the orange is the sun. However, once the earth goes around the sun, the days get shorter. The sun and earth play big factors in our life.
Overall, Sunshine makes the Seasons was a really good book. This book was very descriptive like all science books should be. The experiment with the orange on a pencil with the flashlight was just like the experiment demonstrated to us in class. I would read and experiment with this in a second grade classroom. The science content is accurate in this book and works well as an example. I could read this book to my class when talk about the four seasons and the effects on humans. The four seasons would be part of a science lesson. Also, this book could be read when I talk about the moon and sun.

Educational, about the earth and the seasons. very good book to read to students learning about seasons.

This story is an informational picture book about our solar system, the Earth, and the four seasons. Its very informative and I think would be great for an older class. This would also be a great book for a science center.

I was surprised to find out how many college students didn't understand where and why we had seasons. Maybe if they had read this book at a young age it would have been something that stuck with them better than however they had learned. I loved this book and the way it broke down the science

behind what the sun does for us in a very easy to understand way. I really think third graders just learning about the solar system and sun would benefit from this book, it even guides you through some experiments that help the students actually see what they are learning in person.

The sun shines down on us, giving warmth and light. But did you know that the sun also makes the seasons? As the earth makes one complete rotation around the sun every year, the seasons on the earth change -- from winter to spring to summer to fall and back to winter again. Find out how the light
