Teaching Day and Night

This coloring worksheet can help with teaching day and night, which is a great introduction to science. First, they will read a short informational text about how the Earth rotates on its axis switching between daytime and nighttime. Then, they will look at a diagram of the moon, Earth, and the sun, and shade in the half of the planet that is covered in daylight yellow and the other half gray. This supports students' understanding of colors, in addition to following directions.
