Fun Low Prep Lesson for Spring!

Investigate sunrise and sunset times with a calendar. Have students look at the sunrise and sunset times to see what they notice. Does the sunrise at the same time every day? Is it earlier or later than the day before? How much time does it change by each day? You can ask the same questions about sunset and see what children discover. We are doing this since the children are being pretend meteorologists. Ask questions like, how do you think this will affect the temperatures in the spring or winter? Discuss seasons. If you go to this website, you can produce a calendar for different cities at different times of year.
