  • OK, tell us about the four seasons.

  • There are four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall. Autumn is another word for fall.

  • My favorite season is fall.

  • So what do you like about fall?

  • I love the colorful leaves!

  • I like Halloween and pumpkins.

  • But my favorite season is not fall, it is winter.

  • I like to play in the snow, even though it can get very cold in winter.

  • Mine is summer because you can swim and play in the sand.

  • Summer is sunny and hot where I live.

  • Spring is a nice season too - trees and flowers start blooming, it also rains a lot.

  • It looks like we are here.

  • Is this where Rusty works on his inventions?

  • Yes!

  • Wow! Look at what he made. This room has all four seasons.

  • Snowy cold winter.

  • Spring with blooming trees, flowers... and a lot of showers.

  • Hot summer. Uh it is hot.

  • And this is fall - the trees have changed color and it is time to harvest crops.

  • Look, here is Rusty on the monitor.

  • Welcome to my lab! This is where I invent a lot of cool things.

  • My newest invention is called the Season Changer.

  • Wow! So this device can actually change seasons?

  • Yes. But you can only change them in order. Do you know in which order seasons change?

  • I do. Winter, spring, summer, and fall.

  • Correct. Please read how it works.

  • To activate the Season Changer you must:

  • After you complete these three steps, add water to activate the Season Changer.

  • Please deliver the Season Changer to me, but remember, if you talk about the seasons and you get the Season Changer wet, it will change your season.

  • OK, let's go deliver it.

  • By the way, Speedy, what do you know about fall?

  • Fall is harvest time, leaves turn different colors, and we carve pumpkins for Halloween.

  • Where I live, fall happens in September, October, and November.

  • After fall comes winter.

  • Look out!

  • Oh no! I think we activated the Season Changer and now it is ...

  • Winter! Wow! My favorite season.

  • And it is cold. Let's get the device out of the water to change it to the next season.

  • We can't because the lake is frozen.

  • Ok, let's talk about winter so the Season Changer will turn it to spring.

  • Winter is the coldest time of the year, days are short, nights are long, and it usually snows where I live.

  • Where I live, winter months are December, January, and February.

  • After winter comes spring!

  • We did it! Spring came after winter.

  • Now it is getting warmer and the lake is not frozen anymore.

  • Let's get the Season Changer out of the water.

  • Great!

  • What do you know about spring, Shawn?

  • Spring is when flowers and trees start blooming, it gets warmer and it rains a lot.

  • Where I live, spring happens in March, April, and May.

  • After spring comes summer!

  • Wow it is summer! My favorite time of the year!

  • What do you know about summer, Speedy?

  • Summer is the warmest season of the year, days are long and nights are short, people love to go swimming and eat ice cream!

  • Where I live, summer months are June, July, and August.

  • After summer comes fall!

  • Oops! The machine is not changing to fall...

  • We have no water to finish step number four.

  • This year summer is hot and dry.

  • So how do seasons change?

  • With the Season Changer

  • No. Nobody can change seasons.

  • The Earth travels around the Sun and it takes one year for the Earth to go all the way around the Sun.

  • A season is a division of the year marked by changes in weather.

  • Because the Earth is tilted, some parts of the Earth get more heat and light from the Sun at different times of the year and this creates four seasons.

  • Do you know the four seasons?

  • Of course I know the four seasons - winter, spring, summer, and fall.

OK, tell us about the four seasons.
