Sun and Shadow
by tawny bounds
Students will complete a shadow activity where they will learn what happens to shadows throughout the day. They will create a hypothesis, collect observable data, and come to a conclusion about a shadow's movement and the movement of the sun across the sky. They will also use rulers to measure the length of the shadows they trace and use math to compare their shadow in the morning versus the afternoon.
