K.ESS.2 The moon, sun and stars can be observed at different times of the day or night.
K.ESS.2 The moon, sun and stars can be observed at different times of the day or night.
K.ESS.2.a: The moon, sun and stars appear in different positions at different times of the day or night. Sometimes the moon is visible during the night, sometimes the moon is visible during the day and at other times the moon is not visible at all. The observable shape of the moon changes in size very slowly throughout the month. The sun is visible only during the day.
