The Sky

We've been thinking about the sky.

The sun is in the sky.

We learned that the sun is made up of hot gases or plasma, and made a sensory bottle to imagine what that might look like.

We mixed colors together to create sun art.

The moon is in the sky. We used puffy paint to make moon art.

We see the sun in the sky during the day, and we see the moon and stars at night.

So we also explored the science of the day and night sky.

The Earth spins around as it orbits the sun, and the moon orbits the Earth. 

We played with this idea in many different ways.

This is a pretty abstract concept for kids this age to fully grasp, but it was fun to play on their interests and watch some layers of understanding start to form.
