This activity encourages students to think about the changes that occur between day and night. They will walk around your outdoor space, drawing or writing about the things they can see during the daytime. Next, they will consider what would be different at night. Are there things they won’t be able to see? What new things might appear?
Students can complete the next section through discussion or, if possible, by going outside at night. This could be done as a home learning project or during an overnight camp.
This activity is perfect for getting young learners to think about different animals and their behaviors while also introducing them to the concept of how the Earth moves around the Sun. It’s an excellent way to develop their observation and comparison skills.
