Autumn 2 Week 4- Creating Shadows!


Star of the week: Medhansh and Fabian


Over the past couple of weeks, Class 3 have been investigating shadows as part of our ‘Light’ topic. Using scientific vocabulary such as opaque, translucent and transparent, Class 3 have discussed different materials that will and will not allow light to pass through them. If an object is opaque, the light is blocked and light cannot pass through. This creates a shadow. The photos below, show Class 3 conducting an investigation. We wanted to find out if a shadow was bigger or smaller when the opaque object was closer to the light source. Class 3, comment below and tell everyone what we found out!
