The activity set I have chosen is the Sun and the Shadows.
In my classroom, I would use the Sun and the Shadows activity to help students understand concepts about light and heat energy. I I would begin by introducing the children to the concept of light and where it comes from. We would then discuss different sources of heat and light, emphasising how the sun is our primary source of both heat and light.
To explore shadows, we would go outside into the sun and go on a shadow walk. Afterwards we would experiment using flashlights and objects to create shadows, understanding how they form and change. We would also discuss the differences between day and night, light and shade.
