About this worksheet

The amount of daylight changes across the year. In many places, summer days have more daylight and winter days have less, while spring and fall fall between those extremes. First graders do not need to calculate astronomical causes; they need to observe, compare, and describe the yearly pattern. This worksheet presents simple classroom records and graphs rather than relying on a child’s memory of bedtime or weather. Weather and daylight are not the same thing: a cloudy summer day can still have more daylight than a clear winter day. Support questions compare two seasons with large differences. Challenge questions ask students to read four-season data, choose a fair observation method, and predict the next part of a yearly cycle. Because exact daylight totals depend on location, the values are treated as one class’s local observations, not universal numbers. Ask your child to point to evidence in the record before naming a season.

What your child will learn

  • Compare daylight amounts across seasons
  • Read a seasonal daylight graph
  • Separate daylight length from weather
  • Describe and predict a yearly pattern

Worked example

A class records 15 daylight hours in summer and 9 in winter. The evidence shows that summer had 6 more hours of daylight there.

Common mistake

Using temperature or cloud cover as if it measured the number of daylight hours.

Helpful hint

Compare the daylight bars, not the weather words.
