Introduction
This WebQuest will guide you through learning about the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars.
Introduction
The Sun is a star. It is the closest star to Earth. Why do we need the sun? How does the sun shine and give off heat? Can the sun be dangerous?
The moon is a ball made of rock that moves around the Earth. The Sun's light shines on the Moon. Why does the Moon look different? Is there life on the moon? Will we ever live on the moon?
The sky is filled with many stars. On a clear night, we can see many stars twinkling in the sky. How are stars born? Do they live forever? Why are some stars brighter than others?
