Our learning objective during our science experiment was to understand how shadows change when a light source is closer and further away. A shadow can change size depending on the distance the object casting it is from the light source. Shadows can also be elongated or shortened depending on the angle of the light source.
The children had to decide which equipment would be best to use for the experiment and write down their prediction of what they thought would happen to the shadow when the item moved closer paper. They then, had chance to work in groups to find out the results, writing down the size of the shadow at ten centimetre increments. Soon after, we discussed in groups our findings and then wrote out method and conclusion. We loved it in the dark using the torches, we found the experiment so interesting.
