About This Reader
This reading passage on patterns of the Sun supports the NGSS 1-ESS1-1 standard for understanding the Sun's apparent movement and its role in creating day and night. Students will learn how the Sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west, and how these predictable patterns happen every 24 hours. The passage connects science ideas to real-life examples, such as farmers using sunlight to plan planting, and how ancient people tracked shadows to tell time. Designed for elementary-level readers, this passage strengthens reading comprehension skills while teaching science concepts about light, heat, and the Earth's rotation. It helps students make sense of their daily experiences with sunrise, sunset, and the repeating cycles of day and night.
