Sun's Energy!!!

In Kindergarten, we are learning about how the energy from the Sun heats up the surface of the Earth. Our classes discovered that we can feel the Sun's energy on our skin and also on different surfaces outside of our school! We also found shady spots that blocked some of the energy from the sun!!!

We thought the black pavement felt HOT and the grey wall felt WARM

We are squinting because the sun was shining on our faces!

The black tar on the playground holds a lot of the sun's energy!

The dark light pole felt WARM!

We also found cool shade under a TREE!

The grey sidewalk felt warm as we found the shadow from the flag pole.

The blue paint felt WARM and the white paint felt COOL!

 We found the rays from the sun coming in through a window! It made the carpet feel warm.

We wish we had sunglasses! This wall was very hot because the sun had been shining on it all morning!

Even though it was windy, sun's energy felt warm on the dark pavement and on our skin!





 
Greenley observed that the white paint felt COOL and  the black pavement felt much warmer

 
Our bodies blocked the sun and made SHADOWS!

 







The black pavement felt WARMER than the grey wall.
