Sun Catchers investigates how we can use various forms of solar energy to solve challenges in our lives. In this unit students explore the power and importance of the sun as both an energy source and a member of the cosmos, as they ask themselves, "What are all the different ways we rely on the sun and what is the evidence of its importance in our lives?"

This unit is intended to be used in grade 5 as part of our primary NGSS/NYSSLS science curriculum sequencing. It can also be used in grades 3 - 5 as a supplemental curriculum.
