Before Video
What makes a pattern?ANSWERA pattern repeats, so we know what is going to come next. Patterns happen the same way more than once.
The sun, clouds and sometimes the moon. You can also see things like rain, birds or airplanes.
The moon and stars. You might also see planets or constellations.
Yes, it gets dark when the sun sets every day.
Yes, it gets light when the sun rises every day.
After Video
What pattern do you notice about day and night?ANSWERIt is daytime when the sun is up. When the sun sets, it is nighttime. This pattern repeats every day.
Observing a pattern helps us predict what may happen next.
The sun is only visible during the day. The sun is still shining at night, even though we can’t see it from where we are.
As the sun moves across the sky, your shadow will move too. Your shadow can change in length, shape and position.
A telescope can be used to magnify things that are far away, such as stars and planets.
Things that are closer to Earth look big, like the moon. Stars look very small because they are very far away.
