A Day Without Sunlight

This imaginative writing worksheet prompts students to visualize what would happen if the Sun did not rise for an entire day. After reading the short introduction about the Sun’s importance for life, learners write a 6-8 sentence short story describing what the world might be like during that day. Guiding questions help them consider environmental, biological, and emotional consequences, such as temperature changes, effects on plants and animals, and human reactions. The reflection question at the end asks students to explain why Earth cannot survive long-term without the Sun. The activity blends creative writing with scientific understanding, reinforcing both literacy and conceptual learning.
