Shadows.......

Yesterday, we waited for the sun to come out to go outside to do an experiment on our shadows.
First we got paired up and we drew around our shadows, this was at 9.45am. Then we used a scientific skill - measuring and recorded how long our shadow was. At 11.30am we went out again and did the same thing, but the shadow was shorter and it's direction had changed. At 2.00pm we went out and did the same thing again and our shadow went longer again and it's direction had moved again. The shadow was shortest when it was closest to midday - when the sun is at it's highest point in the sky. The change in direction of our shadow shows us the earth is moving.

Trydon drawing carefully around Pranav's shadow.

We found out that our shadow moves in direction throughout the day and it gets shorter closest to midday.

  1. The shadows were made because our bodies blocked the sun.
