Discover the wonders of summer with this engaging Sandbox lesson! Students in grades K-2 will explore a virtual environment to identify key signs of summer, such as blooming flowers, butterflies, and changing weather patterns. Aligned with NGSS science standards, this activity helps students observe and describe seasonal changes while developing an understanding of how weather, plants, and animals respond to springtime conditions. Through hands-on discovery and discussion, students will analyze patterns in nature, compare seasons, and document their observations using text and images. This classroom activity aligns with NGSS standards for Earth and Space Science (K-ESS2-1, 1-ESS1-2, 2-ESS2-3) and is compatible with Chromebook and iPad devices.
