Kindergarten Science · World 2: Day Turns to Night · Level 7
Night Turns to Day
The sky gets lighter, the sun comes up, and the stars fade.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 7
- The sky changes all day long. Let's watch night turn into day!
- Early in the morning, the sky starts to get lighter. The sun comes up, low in the sky.
- As the sky gets brighter, we can't see the stars anymore. The bright sun hides them.
- Birds sing, and roosters crow. People wake up for the day!
- Try it with a grown-up! Look out the window first thing in the morning. Is the sky dark, light, or in between?
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- SKE1.b — Develop a model to communicate the changes that occur in the sky during the day, as day turns into night, during the night, and as night turns into day using pictures and words. (Clarification statement: Students are not expected to understand tilt of the Earth, rotation, or revolution.)
