This Storytime STEM-pack includes all the materials you need to engage kids in a science activity that addresses the concept of the Sun, Earth, Moon system, in particular the path of the sun across the sky. The activity is launched by reading the popular children’s book The Sun is My Favorite Star, followed by the children identifying objects that can be seen in the day sky, which are placed on a felt board. Using Day Sky cards and the Night Sky card, children describe the path of the sun across the sky during the day. They reinforce their learning by matching daily activity photo cards to the position of the sun during the day. 

Included in this set, you'll find:

The entire activity takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.  

This STEM-pack is suitable for grades PreK-1.
