5: Where does the sun go at night?

Daytime is when you can see the sun from where you are, and its light and heat can reach you.
Nighttime is when the sun is on the other side of the Earth from you, when it’s dark and colder. But do you know where the sun actually goes at night?

This video will help your students explore day and night and make creative connections between space, maths, art, history, literacy and geographyWe'd love to see what you come up with!
