We Need the Sun Activity Packet

We Need the Sun Activity Packet was designed for your Kindergarten students to have a better understanding of how the sunlight affects our weather on earth. This could also be the perfect activity for "book buddies" or higher grade students to do with kindergarteners.

It includes a mini book, science experiments, weather data tracking and more.

Experiments can be done individually, in small groups, in partners or as a whole group. It will be helpful to have multiple thermometers for tracking the temperature.

All you have to do is print and go! The design allows for easy printing and less paper waste.

This activity aligns with the following Next Generation Science standards:

K-PS3-1: Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface

K-PS3-2: Use tools and materials to design and build a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area

- 12 page PDF file

- Mini Book easy reader with black and white pages for students to color

- Cut and Paste Activity that follows-up with the mini-book and can be used to monitor comprehension

- Drawing Activity

- Hands-on science experiments using simple, every day materials
