Science L.O.: To explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them

Activity 1: Watch this video which explains the STEM shadow investigation you are to complete at home if you have the equipment to do so.

Activity 2: Open the file below titled 'Shadow Puppets Investigation'. On the sheet, follow the instructions and  answer any questions using your own observations.

Explanation

A shape of an object always determines the shape of its shadow. However, the size and shape of the shadow can change. These changes are caused by the position of the light source.

When we are outside on a sunny day, we can see how our shadows change throughout the day. The Sun’s position in the sky affects the length of the shadow. When the Sun is low on the horizon, the shadows are long. When the Sun is high in the sky, the shadows are much shorter. We can create the same effects indoors by changing the position of a torch as it shines on an object.

Although the shadow effects are the same, the reasons for the moving light source are very different. When we use a torch to make long and short shadows indoors, it is the light source that moves. When the Sun makes long and short shadows outdoors, it is the Earth, not the light source (Sun), that moves.
