Write a scientific explanation paragraph using the CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning strategy to answer the question below. Use evidence from one of the three choices.
Question: Why don’t see a lot of the stars in daytime?
Sentence starters:
Claim (Answer): We don’t see the stars in the daytime because ______________________________
Evidence: (Choose one piece of evidence: Simulation, Size and Distance video, or Lost in Light video)
The ___________________________shows _____________________________
Reasoning (Explanation)
- The sun is ____________________. The light from the sun ______________________________.
Question: Why can't see the stars in the daytime?
Choose the correct answer for this question.
-The sun up sometimes, but not other times because the Earth spins (rotates)
-We don’t see the stars in the daytime because the sun is very bright
-The rock falls down because of gravity
-The sun looks bigger and brighter to us because the sun is the closest star to Earth.
Claim: We don’t see the stars in the daytime because the sun is very bright.
Evidence: How did the sim show we don’t see the stars in the daytime?
Choose the correct answer.
-It shows the rock falling down to the ground
-It shows the stars are in the sky in the daytime, but we can't see them.
-It shows stars and sun moving in the sky view, but stars do not move. The Earth is spinning (rotating) in the system view.
-It shows the Earth going around the sun
Claim: We don’t see the stars in the daytime because the sun is very bright.
Evidence: How did the video show we don't see the other stars in the daytime because the sun is very bright?
Choose the correct answer.
-It shows the Earth going around the sun
-It shows that it when the Earth faces the sun, it is daytime and when the Earth faces away from the sun, it is nighttime.
-It shows the stars are in the sky in the daytime, but we can't see them.
-It shows the sun is closer to the Earth and the other stars are farther away
Claim: We don’t see the stars in the daytime because the sun is very bright.
Evidence: How did the video show we don't see the other stars in the daytime because the sun is very bright?
Choose the correct answer.
-It shows the sun going down in the sky, but the Earth is spinning away from the sun
-It shows people all over the world dropping a rock and the rock falls to the ground
-It shows the Earth going around the sun
-It shows that when light is close to us (city lights), we can't see many stars in the sky at night. When there is less lights close to us, we can see more stars in the sky at night.
Claim: We don’t see the stars in the daytime because the sun is very bright.
Explanation: Explain why we can’t see the other stars in the daytime because the sun is very bright.
Choose the correct answer.
The sun is the closest start to Earth. The light from the sun is blocking or overwhelming the light from the other stars.
Gravity is a force that pulls objects down to the ground. Down is toward the ground, toward the center of the earth.
The Earth spins toward the sun, it is daytime and we see the sun. When the Earth spins away from the sun, it is nighttime and we see the stars.
