Important background information to help students understand the relationship between sun & earth.
Neat activity that allows investigation to be very student-centered. A bit of a stretch from the initial SOL, but worth utilizing in the classroom.
Experiment that helps students understand the sun as a source of heat (see alternative activity).
Activity #2 would be awesome to help students understand how the sun warms the Earth.
A bit young for my first grade kiddos, but it would be neat to have them record where their shadows are in the morning and then again right before recess to help them explore the relationship between sun & earth.
Science Enhanced Scope & Sequence - Positions of the Sun lesson plan (PDF). Can be adapted to the 5E model to promote inquiry-based learning.
Science Enhanced Scope & Sequence - Energy from the Sun (PDF). State-provided lesson plan that can be easily adapted to a 5E model to promote student-inquiry-based learning.
Another activity that helps students explore how the sun warms the earth; this one has some excellent guiding questions.
Some awesome educational videos about the sun. Some may be too advanced for my first grade friends, but since Murphy's Law dictates that I'll be in a 5th grade classroom next year instead of hanging out with the little ones, I'll be glad that I saved this.
This lesson helps introduce the topic of the sun.
A lesson on the Earth's rotation.
A playground model to help students understand that the Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the Sun.
Raining outside? Here's a backup plan - this is a classroom model to help students understand that the Eartn rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun.
