Kindergarten Science · World 2: Day Turns to Night · Level 9
Day Turns to Night
The sun goes down, the sky turns orange and pink, then gets darker.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 9
- In the evening, the sun goes down, low in the sky.
- The sky can turn orange, pink, and purple. Then it gets darker and darker.
- When the sky gets dark, we start to see the stars, and sometimes the moon.
- People turn on the lights, eat dinner, and get ready for bed.
- Try it with a grown-up! Watch the sky at sunset. What colors do you see? Remember: 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.)
