• Recognise that shadows are formed when the light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object.
• Science, Year 3, Light
• Find patterns in the way that the size of shadows change.
• Science, Year 6, Light
• Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them.
• Explore changing shadows with these semi-circle creators, ideal for demonstrating light principles.
• From sunrise to sunset, mimic the sun's path with a torch and discover how shadows are formed and change throughout the day.
