Shadows GC PPT Part 1

The document discusses shadows and how they are formed when light from a source is blocked by an opaque object. It explains that shadows have no color or details and their shape and size can change based on the light source and object's distance from the source. Students are instructed to make predictions about toy shadows and observe how shadows move and are not attached to the casting object.

I can:

• Learn that shadows are formed when light from a source is

blocked by an object.

• Make a prediction and see if it is right.


Introduction Time: 2 Minutes

Walk a few steps while holding an umbrella in the sun.

Why do people use umbrellas on hot


and sunny days?

Do you think the umbrella saves them


from the sun?

Why do you think so?

People use umbrellas on sunny days for shade/ protection from the sun as it is made

source of light.

The size of the shadow is larger, if the object is close to the


source of light.
Group Activity (Outside Activity) Time: 15 Minutes

Opaque objects usually make shadows. Use your favourite toy to make
shadow shapes in the sunlight.
Predict if the shadow will be the same shape as
You will need: the toy.

A Sunny place

A4 size white
paper
