The activity set that I have chosen is ‘The sun and Shadows’. There is a wide variety of different ways that children can explore the sun and shadows.
· Class Discussion about the sun and what happens when you stand in the sunlight (KWL chart). Explain shadows.
· Go outside and see if there are any shadows outside. Can the children stand in an area where they can make their own shadow?
· Create a sundial activity which was included in Module 2. Watch the shadow move and change throughout the day.
· Integrate with Art – Shadow Drawing Activity. If it is sunny, this can be completed outside. If it is not sunny outside this can be done inside with a torch. Create a shadow pictures using toy animals and other classroom materials.
· Get children to create a shadow puppet using their hands and a flashlight. Work in groups with an IPad to create a simple story with their shadow puppets.
