Sun and ShadowsAn activity that I would like to explore in the classroom would be The Sun and Shadows as it is such a hands on activity and one the students could bring outside of the classroom, ie experiment with at home with their parents. As a homework assignment, can you trace your shodow when you get home from school and later again in the evening, discuss how it has changed.
In school it would be interesting to ask the students to trace your (teacher) shadow on the ground at 1pm in September (autumn) using paint, you could revisit the activity in Decemeber (winter) March (Spring) and June (summer). Question the students how has the shadow changed? Why has it changed?
