The students went outside multiple times throughout the day yesterday to track shadows. We will be discussing why our shadow changed in both direction and in size throughout the day, as well as how it will change throughout the year. Some students used a measuring tape to find their height, then compared it to the length of their shadow throughout the day. Here are some pictures from the activity:

This was the first time the students were able to notice the changes, and wondered why their shadows no longer matched up!
