It was very interesting seeing the shadows move throughout the day, and we drew chalk outlines again to see how much the shadows moved and also if they changed size!
We discussed why shadows move and why shadows change size.
Shadows move and change due to Earth's rotation. The angle of the Sun, low in the sky to higher in the sky, changes the length of the shadow cast behind an object. In the morning, the Sun appears low in the sky; objects cast long shadows
We have also been enjoying this video of 'The Singing Astronaut'.
The Singing Astronaut also does science experiments in space!
