All About the Sun

PRODUCT SUMMARY

Of all the things in life that can be taken for granted, nothing looms larger than…the sun! It provides the Earth with life -- giving light and heat. It’s the main factor behind the weather and the seasons, and it’s the primary source of energy on Earth. All About the Sun gives kids a broad understanding of this nearby star that is the center of the solar system -- and shows them why this star is so important to us. Spectacular NASA footage and lively animation will pique kids' curiosity. Hands-on activities are ideal for students to use as ideas for science fair projects. One of five volumes in the Space Science for Children Video Series in the Schlessinger Science Library. Part of the Schlessinger Science Library for Children Collection. This title correlates to the National Science Education Standards for Earth & Space Science -- properties of Earth materials, objects in the sky and changes in Earth & sky. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
