About this worksheet
Help students see the Sun's daily pattern with this scaffolded, print-ready science worksheet built for NGSS 5-ESS1-2. Students study a simple data table of a meter stick's shadow measured across one day, then graph the data on a ready-made grid with a labeled centimeter scale — no axis setup required.
From the graph, students uncover the pattern: shadows are longest near sunrise and sunset and shortest at noon. Guided fill-in questions and a short prediction task move them from reading data to finding the pattern to predicting what comes next — exactly the science practice this standard asks for, at a level fifth and sixth graders can handle.
What's included: a one-page worksheet, a built-in word bank for support, a scaffolded plotting grid, and a complete answer key that shows the finished graph in red so grading takes seconds.
Perfect for reinforcement, homework, sub plans, or a quick formative check during an Earth and space unit. Just print and teach.
