Yesterday the students in room 212 went on a shadow hunt. We turned out the lights and used flashlights to explore the question, "What makes a shadow?" Students found objects that made a shadow while also figuring out what you need in order to make a shadow.
Our Findings:
- You need 1. Light, 2. An object, and 3. A surface for the shadow to show up on.
- Darker objects and thicker objects make darker shadows.
- Clear objects make a light shadow or no shadow at all.
Here are some pictures from our shadow lesson.
