The sun is a star. All planets rotate around the sun. You shouldn't look at the sun because its light can hurt your eyes. What color is the sun? Did you know the sun is actually white but shows all the colors of the rainbow?
The sun, made up mostly of hydrogen, is at the center of our universe. It is the brightest object in our sky and provides us with light and heat. During this Invitation to Create, children used a paper plate and paint to design their own image of the sun, then explored fringe-cutting the edges to create rays.
They were encouraged to create their own constellation designs. They sorted stars (small, medium and large). They took turns rolling the pocket cube and they identified the size and color of the star. Today was a play dough day, we used space cookie cutters and stars. And finally, as a group they all participated in building number rocket ships!
