• Here's a blog post from National Geographic that explains what a season is, and describes seasons in different parts of the world. It's a resource for 6th - 12th.
• From Education World, a great list of winter-themed resources, across all subjects and ages (and it's not too overwhelming!)
• Here's a really cool list of science experiments for winter. No cold and snow where you are? No worries. A freezer will suffice :)
