- SE Facts: Color the box that says "Solar energy is a source of renewable energy." The box stating "The Sun is a star" is also factually correct but not directly about solar energy as an energy source; however, since the instruction is to color boxes with facts related to solar energy, only the first box strictly fits. But if “related to solar energy” includes general solar facts, both could be colored. For precision, color “Solar energy is a source of renewable energy.”
- The Sun (Word Search): Words to find include: SUN, HEAT, LIGHT, ENERGY, PLASMA, HYDROGEN, HELIUM, CORE, RADIATION, ATMOSPHERE, SOLAR, FLARE, SPOT, CORONA, PROMINENCE. After finding them, use these words to describe the Sun — e.g., “The Sun is a star made of plasma and hydrogen, producing heat and light through nuclear fusion in its core.”
- Sunshine:
- BAD EFFECTS: Sunburn, skin cancer, eye damage (cataracts), dehydration, heat stroke, fading of materials, increased air pollution (smog).
- GOOD EFFECTS: Vitamin D production, boosts mood (serotonin), helps regulate sleep cycles (melatonin), powers solar panels, aids plant photosynthesis, disinfects surfaces, improves immune function.
