Episode 3: 为什么会有白天和黑夜?Why Do We Have Day and Night?

 

Episode Drops Tuesday, 15 September!

 

Description

In Episode 3, we explore a question that's easy to take for granted: 为什么会有白天和黑夜?Why Do We Have Day and Night?.

Together, we discover that the Earth never stops spinning, what that means for every family on the other side of the world right now, and why we never feel the ground moving beneath our feet.

Along the way, we practice five key vocabulary words in context, with sentences your child can use right away.

地球 dì qiú (Earth)
自转 zì zhuàn (to rotate)
太阳
tài yáng (sun)
白天
bái tiān (daytime)
黑夜
hēi yè (night)

Perfect for little listeners aged 5–8.

 

Discussion

Keep the conversation going after the episode. Here are a few questions to ask your little one.

  1. If you could pick any color for the sky, what would you choose?
    如果可以让天空变成任何颜色,你想选什么颜色?

  2. Next time you see a sunset, can you spot the blue disappearing and the orange taking over?
    下次你看到日落的时候,可以找一找蓝色慢慢不见、橙色慢慢出现的样子吗?

  3. Have you ever tried to count how many colors are in the sky at sunset?
    你有没有试过数一数日落的时候天空有几种颜色?
