Shadows

As we are finishing up our study of things in the sky, the weather today proved to be perfect for our exploration of our shadows:D We have been rained out the last 2 times we have tried. We observed our shadows at three different times today. The first was at 9:00am. We observed that our shadows were long and skinny. We went back out at 11:30 to observe the change. Have your scientist tell you what he or she observed about their shadow and check out the pictures from our first two observations.

We went out one final time at 1:10 to see if our predictions about how our shadows would change was an accurate prediction or if we needed to change our thinking. We discovered that our shadows moved again. We observed that the sun was in a different place in the sky each time we went out. Check out our pictures from the last observation.

We had tons of fun exploring and learning about how the earth turns. Try this at home, all you need is some sidewalk chalk and a sunny day. Feel free to email me your pictures of your shadow changes and I'll put them on the blog.
