The Sun
The shadows you just saw were made using light!
The Sun is our main source of light. What do you think? When do we get light from the Sun? When is the Sun’s light NOT shining on us?
We need the sun to live on the planet. It keeps us warm, provides energy and allows plants to grow. However the Sun’s energy is so strong that it can be harmful to us and we must protect ourselves. For example, when we go to the beach we put sunscreen on so that our skin doesn’t get burned.
Can you think of other ways you could protect yourself from the sun’s rays? How might you cool off if you got too hot from being in outside in the sunlight?
