Presentation
It’s Saturday afternoon. Jenny and Brian go to visit Danny. When they arrive, Danny is outside in the yard.
Brian:Hi Danny. What do you have there?
Danny:It’s a telescope. I told my father that we were studying the solar
system. He said that I could use his telescope. (He looks through the
telescope.)
That’s funny! I can see only a tiny circle of light.
Jenny:(She laughs.) You’re looking through the wrong end, Danny!
Try looking through the other end. (Danny turns the telescope around
and looks through it again.)
Danny:That’s better!But I still can’t see any stars or planets.
Brian:You certainly can’t, Danny! The sun is shining. The stars come
out at night.
Jenny:The sunset today is around 7:00 p.m. Maybe Brian and I can
join you after supper. I would love to look through your telescope.
Danny:Great. You two can help me.
Brian:Help you? What are you trying to do?
Danny:I want to discover a new planet.
Brian:I don’t think you can find one unless you have a bigger telescope.
Scientists use huge telescopes when they look for planets.
Danny:Bigger than mine?
Jenny:Bigger than your whole house!Actually,
double the size of your house!
Danny:Well, it’s worth a try, even if I don’t find a
planet.
Brian:We can try tonight. The universe is a
mystery. Maybe we’ll find other amazing things!
