About This Reader
This passage explores NGSS K-PS3-1 through familiar playground experiences. Students observe how sunlight affects different materials and surfaces through temperature changes. The content demonstrates how sun exposure creates warming effects and how shade can prevent heating, introducing basic thermal energy concepts.
Maya felt the playground slide in the morning. It was cool. At lunch, she touched it again. The metal slide was much warmer in the sunny spot! But the plastic slide under the tree stayed cooler. Maya learned that sunlight makes things warm up.
