Thinking about shadows!

This afternoon, we were finding out more about shadows! First, we built a mini playground in our trays out of Lego. Then we used torches to represent the sun and find out how shadows are formed and how they can change. We asked lots of questions! Where is the sun in the sky when shadows are longer or shorter? Why are some shadows darker than others? How are shadows formed? We also refreshed our memories on three important words: opaque, translucent and transparent!
