Light
This morning, Year 5 and Year 6 carried out an investigation to find out what will happen to our shadow at different times during the day.
We measured our shadow at 9.40am, 10.40am and 11.40am.
The children really enjoyed the process and recording their results. We found that our shadows were longer earlier in the day as the sun was at a lower angle causing longer shadows to form.
Help at home – How are shadows formed? Light travels in _________ lines. What does opaque mean? How did your child keep themself safe during the investigation?
