Kindergarten Science Worksheet - Building Confidence
Circle the picture.
The sun shines all day. Which one does not melt when it sits in the sun all day?
The beach sand is very hot from the sun. What do you put on your feet?
You are hot from playing in the sun. Which one cools you down?
The sun goes down and it gets dark and cold. What do you put on to feel warm?
Sunlight can warm land and water, an effect children can feel on a playground slide or watch when an ice cube melts on the pavement. The scientific idea is not that the Sun touches the ground directly, but that light reaches a material and its temperature rises. This worksheet asks short questions about things a child has really felt or seen: a rock that warms in the sun, hot sand under bare feet, the cold air when the sun goes down, ice and snow that melt, and the shade of an umbrella or a hat.
Children answer by circling a picture, such as a shoe, a coat, a water drop, or an umbrella. Support pages use two choices or very clear everyday objects. Challenge pages add a fourth picture and a comparison about where ice melts faster. Never test this by leaving a child in strong sunlight; use a rock or a toy in the sun and one in the shade, and feel them carefully. Ask your child what changed between the two: only the sunlight.

The beach sand is very hot from the sun. A shoe protects your feet, so the shoe is the picture to choose.
