We See in

the Sky?

1st Grade W.A.L.K.S.

In daytime sky, you may see clouds and the sun.

Observing the Sky.

The sunIs the star closest to Earth. The sun lights

Earth.

A star

Is an object in the sky that gives off its own light.

Stars

planets

and the moon!

In the nighttime sky you may see..

The moon is a huge ball

of rock.

It doesn’t give its

own light! Its light

comes from the sun .

A telescope is a tool that makes things that are far away look closer.

You can look at the sky with a telescope!!

If you look at planet Mars

with just your eyes, this is what you’ll

see

This is what you’ll see if you look at Mars with a telescope!!

How much more would you see?
