Lesson Overview
• K-PS3-1: Make observations to determine the effect of the sunlight on earth’s surface. [Clarification statement: Examples of Earth’s surface could include rocks, sand, soil and water.] [Assessment boundary: Assessment of temperature is limited to relative measures such as warmer/cooler.]

Lesson Overview
• Objectives:– Students will understand that the sun warms
everything on the Earth’s surface, specifically water, sand and soil.
– Students will be able to understand what life would be like without a sun.
– Pre-Knowledge: students will understand a thermometer rises with a higher temperature.

Safety
• When working with heat lamps (as we are in this activity to mock the sun), you must keep them away from students.
• Since we will be using materials that have been warmed by these heat lamps, check the temperature before passing them to students to ensure the temperature will not burn.

Engage
• Read Sun Up, Sun Down by Gail Gibbons

Explore
• Students will feel room temperature water, sand and soil.
• Next, students will feel water, sand and soil that has been either sitting in the sun or under a heat lamp for a few hours.
• Students will help label our model thermometer on the board with the warmth of each object.

Explain
• We will talk about how the sun has warmed these items.
• Students will fill in a mock thermometer to label on their own (with pictures) where each item falls on a thermometer.

Elaborate
• Ask students: What if we didn’t have the sun? What if the sun was cold instead of hot? How would life be different?• Ask students to create a picture book showing life without a warm sun.

Evaluate
• Evaluate the picture books with a rubric:–Did the student consider how Earth’s temperature would be affected?–Did the student use his/her own ideas?–Did the student use examples that “made sense”?
