Two Different Skies

Worksheet Description

This preschool worksheet, titled “Day or Night,” offers a colorful representation of the Earth, with one half bathed in the bright sun and the other in the moon and stars, symbolizing day and night. The top half of the sheet is divided into two sections – one depicting a sunny sky dotted with clouds, indicating daytime, and the other showing a starry night sky, indicating nighttime. The worksheet prompts children to write down which part of the Earth is in daytime and which is in nighttime, providing an excellent introduction to basic astronomy and the concept of Earth’s rotation.

It also enhances writing skills and comprehension as they learn to associate specific visuals with the time of day. Engaging and educational, this worksheet is an ideal tool for parents and teachers to introduce the concepts of day and night to preschoolers in a fun and interactive way. It serves as a foundational step towards more complex topics in geography and science.
