This science video from Kids Academy will teach your child about our closest star – the Sun, which is the source of all life on the planet Earth. Observing the Sun and understanding its properties will help the young ones develop a better idea of the Earth’s place in the universe and prepare them for grasping the concepts of weather, seasons and amount of daylight, energy, as well as plant and animal behavior.
The Sun is in the middle of our solar system, and all the eight planets of the solar system revolve around it following their orbits. The Sun is a star, which means it’s a big ball of hot gas. Right now, it’s a dwarf star in the middle of its life, but over time it expands, which means “grows bigger”, to turn into a giant star when it gets really old.
Here are some amazing facts about the Sun:
1. The Sun is 327,000 times bigger than the Earth;
2. The temperature of the Sun surface is almost 10,000 degrees F, or over 5,000 degrees C;
3. The Sun is 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers, away from us;
4. It takes the Sun’s light 8 minutes to reach the earth;
5. Our Sun is 4.5 billion years old.
In many ancient cultures the Sun was considered sacred. However, people not only worshipped the sun, they also learned how to use its energy in different ways. For example, the Ancient Egyptians knew how to build houses so that their walls would accumulate the Sun’s heat during the day and warm the house during the night. The Ancient Romans used sunlight to heat water in their baths. Nowadays the Sun’s light is an important alternative source of sustainable renewable energy. People build solar power systems, like solar panels, to generate heat and electricity.

Recently, I was sitting in the office working on administrative duties for the school. Three girls – all around age 8 – came in, all pretty wet from playing outside in the warm spring rain. They camped out in one of the big rolling chairs by the space heater to warm up. I missed how it started (I’m not sure if they came in with a book or found one in the office), but suddenly I looked over and they were all deeply engrossed in reading together. It was magical. They all took turns reading out loud, while the others giggled at the jokes, asked questions, added their own commentary. Of course they didn’t set rules about who got to read when or for how long. No one had to stay quiet while the others read. They were just three friends enjoying a book – but it was more than that. They know each other, so they knew when it was okay to talk, when it was okay to correct a mispronunciation or help one another stumble through a hard word. They also knew when to stay quiet and let the other one figure it out. Three people, I think, is an especially tricky dynamic (no matter what the activity), but they had this perfect understanding of how to interact with each other and follow these implicit friendship/sharing/reading rules so well. At first I was simply amazed at this entire interaction in itself. But then I started to think about it in the context of public/traditional school, and I thought about why this whole scene would have never happened in the school I did my student teaching at (a public school in Delaware where I taught 4th grade).
1. There wouldn’t have been enough time. This situation never could have organically sprouted in a traditional classroom because there would never be enough (or any) down time/choice time/any free time. There was recess, but it was short and monitored, and books were most definitely not allowed outside.
2. The book these girls were reading wouldn’t have been accessible to them, because it wouldn’t have been in their “zone” of reading. Kids at the school I taught at had to take reading tests periodically, and those tests put them in a color “zone,” and they were only allowed to check out library books in the right zone. Books from home were not allowed to be read at school.
3. The girls were touching each other, which would have been against the rules in public school. There was no touching allowed, ever (no holding hands, no clapping games, no high fives – no touching, EVER), and the girls I saw reading in the office were sitting on each others laps (and moving and squirming around, which would have also been discouraged or punishable in public school).
4. The girls would have been embarrassed to be reading and joking and making mistakes within earshot of a teacher.
5. The girls probably would have already hated reading if they had gone through the public system. Traditional schools set up learning as an obstacle. How many times did I say, “you can’t go to recess until you finish chapter 11” or “You can have free time if you finish your plot worksheet” ? Too many times. This kind of set up is really saying, “You need to learn before you can do what you enjoy. Learning is something difficult that you won’t like doing, but you have to do it.” Who can blame kids for hating reading (or math, or science, or history) is this is the message they are getting?
Anyway, the scene I saw in the office was not uncommon by any stretch at Arts & Ideas. It happens all the time. It just stood out to me because I got to witness very closely and in a quiet space – lucky me! Like I said, it was magical. They were totally comfortable with me being there. They weren’t afraid of being assessed or finishing the book or finding the main plot points…none of that junk! The kind of conversations they were having were the kinds of interactions public school curriculums try to desperately to “foster.” They call for peer based readings groups (picked by the teacher based on test scores, naturally), and kids have to ask each other very specific questions while following this bizarre script. It’s all about making connections, asking questions, making interpretations…and somehow, these three girls, who’ve never taken a reading class (or any traditional class) in their lives, are doing all this (and more) totally, completely, organically and on their own.
