The Sunny Playground
On a bright summer day, Mia went to the playground. She noticed that the slide felt warm when she touched it. “Why is it so warm?” she wondered. Mia looked up and saw the sun shining brightly in the sky.
Then Mia stepped onto the grass under a tree. It felt cooler. “Oh, the sun doesn’t shine here!” she said.
Mia realized that the sunlight makes things warm. When the sun shines on something, it gets warmer. But in the shade, things stay cooler.
