1. The sun rises and sets in the same day for us on Earth because the Earth orbits, or circles around, the sun, completing one full rotation every 24 hours.
2. In paragraph 1, "orbit" means to circle around something, like how the Earth circles around the sun. I know this because the text says, “We orbit around the sun,” and then explains that it takes 24 hours, which is the time for one full rotation.
3. We would set our clocks ahead one hour in March during Daylight Savings Time to make better use of daylight in the evening, allowing more time for outdoor activities after work or school.
4. The type of text is an informational passage because it provides factual information about Daylight Savings Time and how it affects daily life.
5. If you participate in Daylight Savings Time, you will know when it ends in November because one of your days will be a 25-hour day — you roll your clocks back one hour, so you gain an extra hour.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of daylight savings worksheet.
