***Corrected with Images of Stars/planets*** So you know what a star is, right? Well, if you don't, you should. We've talked about that big one in the sky a few times: The Sun! But there are a lot of bright dots in the night sky and not all of them are stars. Today, let's play a game of "Star or Not a Star" to learn a little more about everything that's up there. This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from Earth. [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to relative distances, not sizes, of stars. Assessment does not include other factors that affect apparent brightness (such as stellar masses, age, stage).] Want to find Crash Course elsewhere on the internet?
