Shadows




Click on the picture above to visit the BBC Science clip about 'shadows' that we used in Science this week. See if you can predict what the shadows will look like.
Post a comment to explain
1) how a shadow is created and
2) how a shadow changes throughout the day.

hi

i had fun learning about different shadows big ones small ones thin ones and fat ones using torches is fun where you shine it on to a wall and we made the shadow puppets and put it in front of the light source (torch) to make a shadow

a big shadow is created when you move the object closer because it blockes more light and a small one is because less light is blocked have a nice day bye!

hello

great game about shadows it made shadows even at night from the light at the moon.

kirsten said...

To make a shadow you need: a object and a light. I like playing the shadow games

rahimul said...

to make a shadow you need a light source such as a torch light travels in a straight line so what ever the object is it will block the light from getting around the object for example if you had a shadow it is because you are blocking the light source because it cant go through the object because it needs to be opaque

Hello,

A shadow is formed when the light from a light source is blocked. For example, when the sun comes out, the tree is opaque(won't let light through) a shodow is formed behind it.

But it also depends on the time of the day. In the evning the shadow will be longer, because the sun is nearer to the opaque object.

So now you know, if the light source is nearer to the object the shadow is longer.

I also really enjoyed the shadow puppets we used on wednesday!!


Have a nice day .. BYEEEEE!!

:)

Edward said...

Tahmed said...

To make a shadow we will need a light sors such as a tarch light travls in avstraightline so what ever the objectis we will blocking the light sours becuoase it can,,t go through the object becuase it needs to be opaeaque

Tahmed said...

wan you go nera to a shadow it gets biger and if the shadow is far it gets smoller.

Tahmed said...

whan the sun is in the east your shadow is in the wast and whan the sun is in the wast your shadow is in the east and if the sun is in the south your shadow is in the
in the nouth and if the sun is in the nouth your shadow is in the south.

Edward said...

When an object is near a light it is big and when an object is away from the light it is small.

connor said...

i know that when the sun is out the shadow is foomed

bolu said...

I learnt that you can make a shadow whith a light source.As a tourch and when you move it closer to the object.It gets bigger and when you move it. Awaye it gets smaller.
