There are four sheets in this download. Three of them are basically the same thing--I created multiple versions for differentiation purposes (i.e. color blindness)
Visual: Use lamp and globe to demonstrate this for visual learners.
Audio: Use a YouTube video explaining Earth's rotation, or what causes day and night, etc.

(For example, students should know that Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, so therefore, the distance that matches Mercury must be th

This activity is for 1st grade science when learning about objects in the day and night sky. In South Carolina the correlating standard is 1.E.3A. I have found this is a quick way to integrate reading and science into the same lesson while also obtaining an easy science grade. The class could echo read the paragraph, or they could practice reading it by themselves. Enjoy!
