Record How a Shadow Changes
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: comparing shadows while changing light direction
1
Place a safe object on paper. With an adult, shine a flashlight from one side and trace its shadow.
2
Mark where the flashlight was held for the first shadow.
3
Move the flashlight to the other side. Trace the new shadow in a different pencil pattern.
4
Compare the direction of the two shadows.
5
Keep the flashlight on one side but move it closer. Record what changes.
6
Write one observation and one question about shadows.
- Use a flashlight and never shine it into eyes.
- Keep the object still while changing light position.
- Separate observations about direction from observations about size.
