Although it’s the closest, the sun is actually 92 million miles away.

Have students read the text “Sun and the Stars” Students can
choose to read with a partner or by themselves. After they are
finished reading, have students return to their seats and complete
The Sun and Stars questions independently. Have students turn in
their questions into the science bin when they are finished.
Questions are modified for lower-level students so they are not
extended response but multiple choice.

are designed to help students learn the ideas and skills needed to achieve that level of thinking by grade level.
Include each standard for grade levels below & one above from CPALMS, the VCS curriculum maps, Next
