Hello Scholars, This week we are learning about the sun’s daily “path” across the sky, including how the sun rises on the eastern side of the sky, and sets on the western side.

Parents, you can encourage your child’s curiosity by helping them make the personal connection to these directions, as seen from their own home. Give them a clear sense of where east and west are, in relation to:  the driveway or sidewalk, any front-facing windows, bedroom walls, etc.  For example, you might say, “If you can imagine your walls were invisible, where would you see the sun in the morning?"

If you yourself are unsure, here are two simple ways to find out: 1) If you have a smartphone, many of them come with a built-in “compass” app. 2) You can do it the old-fashioned way, and just notice the sun’s position at sunset and/or at sunrise.

Print out this worksheet if you have access to a printer.  If not, skip to Step 3 and complete the Seesaw Exit Ticket.
In this activity, you will develop a model of the sun’s daily path across the sky, then use this model to help someone who’s lost. In the activity, Sun Finder, you will create a mobile paper model of the sun and earth to show the position of the sun throughout the day.
