This week in science we’re exploring how the Sun’s path changes with the time of the year. Students will learn that on summer days the Sun comes up earlier, rises higher in the midday sky, and sets later than it does in winter.

If you find that your child is curious when the Sun rises and sets, Google now provides sunrise and sunset times simply by typing “sunrise” and “sunset” in Google. Many weather apps for smartphones (such as iPhone) also feature this information included with the day’s forecast.
