Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math: STEAM Unit: Fun Facts About the Sun for Kids Video and Sun Catcher Art Project
Lesson Outline
We started the lesson by watching the video Facts About the Sun for Kids: What is the Sun? Science Lesson for Kids by Twinkl USA. I had Remington write four facts about the sun that he learned from the video on his My Sun Facts worksheet. He wrote the following: 1) The sun is a star; 2) The sun is a huge ball of gas that is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit; 3) The sun is 864,000 miles wide, and 4) the sun is 4.5 billion years old. Then Remington traced sun rays on a white paper plate and cut those out. I cut out the center of the plate for safety purposes. Then he put two sheets of wax paper down over the cut-out center of the paper plate and traced and cut out a wider circle. Next, he cut out several squares of colored tissue paper. He will complete the sun catcher tomorrow.

Unit 3 Earth’s Changing Landscape
Lesson Outline
We created a hill out of clay and covered it with sand. Then we simulated heavy rain on the hill. We observed how the flooding forced the sand down the hill. We repeated the experiment a second time with new, dry sand but added our version of straw waddles which we pinned down with toothpicks. We recorded our observations, analysis, and conclusion.
