How do the Earth, Sun and Moon Work Together?
This is one of our guiding questions for science and today we studied the answer to part of it by experimenting with our shadows. 1JT noticed that at different times of day our shadows look different. We also discovered when we went outside this afternoon to trace our shadows again, that when the sun is covered up by a cloud our shadow disappears. Some of the questions 1JT explored were:
Why is my shadow smaller/bigger at different times of the day?
Why does the sun make a shadow?
Why/how does the sun change position in the sky?
(These were fun discussions, please continue them at home - they are wonderful inquirers!)
Below is a short video about shadows:
