During the day, the sun is the biggest and brightest thing we can see in the sky. The sun gives us light and heat. Let’s explore how we and other living things use the sun’s light and heat!
The sun’s heat warms everything on Earth, like the oceans, land, and air. This warmth helps keep all living things, like plants, animals, and people, nice and cozy. Even things that aren’t alive, like rocks and water, get warmed by the sun.
Plants love sunlight! They use the sun’s energy to make their own food. This process is super important because plants need food to grow and live. Without sunlight, there wouldn’t be any plants on Earth. And guess what? Many animals eat plants to get their food, so sunlight helps them too!
Animals also need sunlight. It helps them see during the day. Imagine trying to find your way around in the dark! Sunlight makes it easier for animals to find food and stay safe.
We need sunlight too! It helps us see everything around us during the day. Have you ever thought about what life would be like without sunlight? Talk to your friends and imagine a world without the sun’s light!
Remember, the sun is very important for life on Earth. It gives us the light and warmth we need to live and grow!
Sunlight Scavenger Hunt: Go outside with a grown-up and look for things that are using sunlight. Can you find a plant soaking up the sun? How about a rock that feels warm? Make a list or draw pictures of everything you find that is using the sun’s light and heat.
Shadow Play: On a sunny day, go outside and see how the sun creates shadows. Try making different shapes with your hands or body and watch how the shadows change. Can you make a shadow that looks like an animal? Talk about how the sun’s position in the sky changes your shadow’s size and shape.
Sunlight Diary: For one week, keep a diary of how you use sunlight each day. Write or draw about times when sunlight helps you see better, keeps you warm, or helps plants and animals around you. At the end of the week, share your diary with a friend or family member and talk about why the sun is important.

The heat from the sun warms all parts of the Earth, including the oceans, land, and air. It keeps living things warm and also warms the non-living things around us. The light from the sun is called sunlight.
Plants use the energy from sunlight to make food, which they need to live and grow. Without the light from the sun, there would be no plants on Earth. Many animals get the food they need by eating plants. Sunlight also helps many animals to see.
