How could you bring the sun’s light and heat to this town? (Hint: You can’t move the sun, but is there a way to move the sunshine?)

We suggest students work in pairs.
In this activity, students fold their worksheet so that part of the paper acts as the mountains, casting a shadow over “Chill City,” the paper town on the worksheet. For this to work, you need a light source that is NOT overhead. We have used desk lamps, table lamps, or light from a window.
If your window isn’t bright enough, a table lamp with no shade can work well as a source of “sunlight.” Put the lamp on the floor and have students sit in a circle around it. To test your light source to make sure it will work, or this activity, we recommend that you print out a copy of the Chill City worksheet and try steps 3 to 6 of the activity instructions.
Cut each report cover into two sheets at the fold. Then cut each sheet into 8 equal pieces, like this:
Do the same for the colored construction paper and aluminum foil.
For each pair of students, assemble an envelope of supplies containing:
Student slideshow: English | Spanish
Teacher printout: English & Spanish
With these activities, students can investigate how to make a hot place colder (the opposite of our lesson!):
Show students a news report about the real town of Rjukan, Norway that inspired the activity for this lesson.
