There are so many things to discover about the sun! Pupils discuss their knowledge of the sun, explore its features, apply their knowledge by labeling photographs, and then reflect on their learning by working in groups to draw and label the sun. To wrap up the lesson, learners participate in a Think-Pair-Share and write a short essay for the assessment.
