Autumn Changes | Year 1 Science PowerPoint Lesson

Celebrate autumn with a visual, colourful, ready-to-teach Year 1 science lesson. Children learn the four seasons, what autumn weather is like, the difference between deciduous and evergreen trees, why leaves change colour and fall, and how animals such as squirrels and hedgehogs prepare for winter. Two interactive, hands-on activities, leaf detectives and an autumn tree collage, turn a walk in the school grounds into real scientific observation. Short sentences, gentle new vocabulary and friendly prompts make it easy to read aloud. A true-or-false slide checks understanding, and a “where this leads next” slide previews Year 2 and Year 3 science. Matched to the KS1 National Curriculum seasonal changes objective, this no-prep PowerPoint suits a 30 to 45 minute lesson or a cover lesson. 14 slides in a consistent teal design with Laura’s friendly avatar. British spelling throughout. Every content slide carries a short speech-bubble prompt from Laura, so a busy or non-specialist teacher can pick it up, read it aloud and teach with confidence. Download once and use it year after year.
