Kindergarten Science · World 2: Day Turns to Night · Level 8
During the Day
The sun is up and the sky is bright.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 8
- During the day, the sun is up and the sky is bright. In the middle of the day, the sun is high in the sky.
- The sun seems to move slowly across the sky. It comes up on one side, and goes down on the other side.
- Clouds float by. Sometimes, we can even see the moon in the day sky!
- Daytime is when many of us go to school, play outside, and eat lunch.
- Try it with a grown-up! Look at where the sun is in the morning, then again after lunch. Did it seem to move? Never look straight at the sun!
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.)
