Sun, Moon, and Stars

See the sun in the day, and the moon and stars at night.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child sees the sun in the day sky, and the moon and stars at night. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 15

Look up! In the day, the sky is bright, and we see the sun. Never look straight at the sun. It can hurt your eyes.
At night, the sky is dark. We can see the moon, and lots of stars.
The moon can sometimes peek out in the day too. The stars are still there in the day, but the bright sun hides them.
Your turn! Point to the sun. It's the bright one we see in the day.
Try it with a grown-up! Look at the sky in the day, and again after dark. What changed?
