Kindergarten Science · World 2: Day Turns to Night · Level 11
Model the Day
Put pictures of the sky in order, from night to day and back to night.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 11
- Let's make a model of a whole day! Morning: the sun comes up.
- The middle of the day: the sun is high in the sky.
- Evening: the sun goes down.
- Night: the moon and stars come out. Then morning comes again, every single day!
- Your turn! Put the sky in order, starting with the morning.
- Try it with a grown-up! Fold a paper into four boxes. Draw the sky in the morning, the middle of the day, the evening, and the night.
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.)
