The Stars
We see stars at night. They're still there in the day, hidden by the bright sun.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 4
- At night, we see stars. They look like tiny twinkly lights.
- Stars are really huge balls of hot, glowing gas, like the sun! They look tiny because they're very, very far away.
- The stars are still up there in the day. The sun is so bright that it hides them.
- The sun is a star too: the star closest to us.
- Try it with a grown-up! On a clear night, go outside and count the stars you can see.
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.
