Science

In Science we have been studying shadows and light. We learnt that shadows are caused by an opaque object that blocks the sunlight from reaching the ground. This then causes a black shadow. Translucent objects cannot create shadows because the light can pass through them like windows. 

We also learnt that shadows move and change shape. This is because the Earth is constantly spinning on its axis. Have a look at some of our shadow crafts. Next week we will be making sun dials to see how people used to tell the time using the sun.
