Auroras Explained

In this printable, kids will explore the science of auroras — those colorful lights dancing across the polar skies. Reading sections describe how solar wind and Earth’s magnetic field interact to create the northern and southern lights, supported by labeled diagrams and observation tips. Review questions and reflection tasks encourage deeper learning and connect atmospheric science with culture and geography. A wonderful resource for homeschool lessons, science fairs, or family night-sky projects to inspire awe and appreciation for nature’s wonders.
