The Sun
The sun is a big, bright, hot star we see in the day. Never look straight at it.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 2
- The sun is a star: a giant ball of hot, glowing gas. It's the star closest to us, so it looks big and bright.
- We see the sun in the day sky. It gives us light, so we can see, and warmth, so we feel warm.
- The sun is so bright that it can hurt your eyes. Never look straight at the sun!
- Try it with a grown-up! Stand in the sunshine, then in the shade. Where do you feel warmer?
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- SKE1.a — Ask questions to classify objects according to those seen in the day sky, the night sky, and both.
