About this resource
Description
The sun gives our Earth light and heat, and children see it at work every day. This sun activity turns learning about the sun into a read-the-room hunt. Children search the classroom for twelve sun fact cards, read each fact, and record the big word on their sheet.
The sun activity is made for 1st and 2nd grade. Tape the fact cards around the room at eye level and give each child a recording sheet. Children learn that the sun is a star, that it is very hot, that plants need sunlight to grow, why we wear sunglasses and sunscreen, how the sun comes up in the morning and goes down in the evening, and how solar panels turn sunlight into power. A 1st grade Yes or No practice page checks what they learned.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with prep tips and steps
- 12 sun fact cards for a read-the-room hunt
- A Sun Hunt recording sheet with 12 sentence frames
- A 1st grade Yes or No practice worksheet
- Answer keys for the recording sheet and the practice page
Why Kids Love This Sun Fact Hunt
First, moving around the room to hunt for cards keeps active learners busy and focused. Second, each card pairs a bright picture with one short fact, so new science words are easy to read and remember. Third, writing the key word in a sentence frame builds reading, spelling and science vocabulary at the same time.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the hunt during a unit on the sun, weather, day and night, or the seasons. Go outside on a sunny day and trace shadows with chalk, then check how they change after lunch. At home, tape the cards around the house for a sunny scavenger hunt. Children can share their three favorite facts with a partner or family member.
