Try this shadow experiment by: thefirstgraderoundup.com You will need: a partner, chalk, pencil and paper. Question: Will your shadow move?

Instructions: For this experiment you will need to go outside 3 times in one day so make sure you plan ahead!

  • Step 1:  Draw an X on the ground in chalk. This is where you will stand each time you trace your shadow. Go outside in the morning (Morning -around 8:30). Have your partner trace your shadow.
  • Step 2: Go outside and have your partner trace your shadow again. (Afternoon – around 12pm)
  • Step 3: Go outside for the final time and have your partner trace your shadow. (Evening -around 6pm)

*Make sure that you trace your shadow overtop of the shadow you traced earlier so that you can see the changes* *Use different colours to help you*

Did your shadow move or change? What happened? Why? Take pictures and send them to your teacher!
